Cross-compiling is a bitch.

The basic problem is that a lot of packages are rarely/never cross-compiled,
thus they aren't tested to do that correctly. At best, testing coverage
is spotty.

One solution is to build natively. Even if it means you have to build in
a qemu sandbox (s...l...o...w...), it can still be less time-consuming
than figuring out every package's cross-compiling quirks, and maintaining
fixes for those which are broken.

Rob's Aboriginal Linux aims to make native compile for non-x86 arches easier.
Its motto is "We cross compile so you don't have to". Read more at:
