After some research, I found that Debian only has cross-compiling tool 
packages for Linux (gcc-*-linux-gnu) in the stock package source, but 
not those for other kernels like Hurd, *BSD. That sounds a little 
reasonable, I think, since there are so many architectures listed by 
`dpkg-architecture -L` that it would be a big mass to include all tools 
for all of them.

My question is also asked in a bug report[1] of build-essential, while 
it seems to have no reply. I'm not going to bother the build-essential 
maintainers, as most of the missing packages can be built with some 
simple changes of the packages' source codes.

I post this mail just for sealing this question, no need to reply.

Best regards!
