In compiling qt I found that there is a qws target called arm-linux-gcc. I looked around a bit but unable to figure out how and where to find this. I tried installing and apt-cache gave me following output.

Could some one assists to figure out to install "arm-linux-gcc"

You are missing the gcc compiler with arm target set. This has been prepackaged in the ubuntu archive for quite a while, so you shouldn't need to build this from source.
sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi to install
Stumbled over this, while trying to cross-compile. After installing the gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi, make did not recognized it at all. So you may also need to give make another hint. Calling it like
make CROSS_COMPILE=gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi- does the trick for me.
