Show HN: Mkcross – Python program to bring up a cross toolchain in seconds

https://github.com/xbjfk/mkcross

It uses a pre-installed version of clang rather than compiling an entirely new compiler. Apart from speed, this approach has another advantage: the toolchains can be used on any computer with any OS or architecture as long as it has clang.
