title: Creating linux cross compiler running on mac 10.6
body: <p>I have mac snowleopard 10.6 but i develop lots of programs (in C &amp; C++) for linux hosts.
  I've tried compiling them under a ubuntu linux vm in virtualbox but the VM isn't the same performance as my mac and is very hard to keep swapping files between.</p>
  
  <p>I've read: <a href="http://crossgcc.rts-software.org/doku.php" rel="nofollow">http://crossgcc.rts-software.org/doku.php</a> about the "i386-Linux Binaries for Intel" and installed the binary the author of that wiki made and it works but it is an old version of gcc that came with that package.
  I tried compiling a cross compiler using his script but it fails because my mac does not have a case sensitive file system.</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone suggest how to create a cross compiler on a mac for i386 linux?</p>
  
  <p>All help is greatly appreciated </p>
