How to build rust for cross-compiling?

I downloaded rust beta 5 ant try to build it for cross-compiling:
./configure --disable-dist-host-only --target=arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf,x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu,x86_64-pc-windows-gnu && make

i got error:
`/usr/lib/gcc/arm-linux-gnueabi/4.9.2/include/stdint.h:9:26: fatal error: stdint.h: No such file or directory

include_next <stdint.h>

                      ^

compilation aborted.`

What you need to do to solve this?
Is there any official documentation for assembly Rust for cross-compiling?

This may mean that the toolchain being used to compile the arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf C code may be misconfigured or may not be installed correctly. Could you try running make VERBOSE=1 and then seeing what command is run to compile this file? Running and/or debugging that manually may shed some light.

In general though that's how to build a compiler which can cross to other targets!

Ah yes the problem here is this command:

arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc -I/home/chessnokov/rustc-1.0.0/src/compiler-rt/lib  -I/home/chessnokov/rustc-1.0.0/src/compiler-rt/include -Wall -g -fPIC  -D__arm__ -std=c99 -c -o  /home/chessnokov/rustc-1.0.0/arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf/rt/compiler-rt/triple/builtins/arm/SubDir.lib__builtins/absvdi2.o  /home/chessnokov/rustc-1.0.0/src/compiler-rt/lib/builtins/absvdi2.c

You may want to try running that manually and see if you can diagnose the problem further through that.

Fixed by setup linaro toolchain.
