RE: building a native lib using a cross-compiler

[Yakov Dekel]

Thanks, this sounds what I was looking for. I will probably give it a
try in the next couple of weeks and let you know how it went.

Try http://kegel.com/crosstool
It builds a complete gcc+glibc cross-toolchain, and even
runs the regression tests remotely.  I have an old Sparc
machine in my office, and was debating doing the same
thing you're thinking of, just as another reality check
on my crosstool scripts and on gcc.  Let me know how it goes!
