gcc. You have to compile it for you target on your host, which among others implies that you configure the kernel headers for that. If you haven't already done so, you should really get the book "Building Embedded Linux Systems" by Karim Yaghmour and follow the instructions in it to build your cross development environment.

Otherwise, some boards come with a pre-configured cross compiling environment, like the ELDK, provided by DENX

You would have to check that for your target hardware.

Good luck,
