regarding cross-compiling: if you've seen how openembedded uses bitbake to do cross-compiling (which includes setting an automatic qemu redirect of autoconf script running and even qemu-emulated gcc running), you start to get a deep appreciation for the dangers of cross-compiling.
the key one is, you have absolutely no idea if the host correctly generated the autoconf settings correctly or not. even running under qemu is not accepted, because of the risks of qemu giving the wrong information when compared to native hardware.

Yuk. You saved me a lot of time. I trusted qemu too!
