Emdebian Grip has nothing to do with cross-compilers. You need to use
the toolchain repository, not grip.

The toolchains depend on a single package from Squeeze to provide the
old ABI.

That's a toolchain issue, nothing to do with Grip.

Cross compilers from Emdebian for Wheezy do need packages from Squeeze
and the cross-compilers for newer releases are currently broken.

Remove the Grip apt source, it has nothing to do with cross-compiling
stuff.

Then just update again.

You've confused Grip with toolchains - they are *not* the same.
