That bit is correct. I later found another wiki page describing the process:
https://wiki.linaro.org/WorkingGroups/ToolChain/CrossCompilerOnLucid

But there is a problem with the 'debuild' command. It'll fail with complaints
of libelf/libdw missing.

I'll cook up a command with dpkg-cross when I get a chance.
