It requires some porting efforts at least according to what I saw when
tried to build them last time

At least for DJGPP port of GCC I'm not using DJGPP ports of autotools already for a
long time. Especially as GCC requires a specified version of automake and autoconf.
So for me steps are following:
1) generate gcc Linux to DJGPP cross-compiler SRPM package which contains
     required source modifications from my own GIT repository
2) A side product from building cross-compiler is source package for DJGPP.
     All autotools related stuff is done in this step (under Linux)
3) Build gcc as native compiler from source package created in step 2

I guess that something similar can be done also for other packages.
