Hallo.
I just tried to analyze the cost of the cross-compilation support in OpenSUSE BS.
This long mail attempts to describe steps to this goal:
do you considered to add qemu support to the build script ? Just add another section where XEN code exist.
In that case all software could get compiled "natively" on their architectures without changing the packages.
Or is this not sufficiant in some cases ?
Sufficient but slow. If cross compilation of a particular package works, it can save about 90% of compile time. And for example mentioned OpenWrt builds 100% of packages using cross-toolchain, OpenEmbedded build by cross-toolchain everything except locales. Locales take ~1 hours to build. The rest of the whole X image (kernel, glibc, xorg, tools, GPE cross compiled) builds 1.5 hours.
