One example that comes immediately to mind is cross-compilation.
It's very tempting to cross-compile to support CPUs like ARM --- and fro
long bitter experience we _know_ that cross-compilation causes all kinds
of interesting screwups -- largely due to the {mis,}use of autotools
IIRC.
I'm don't think we'd ever want a cross-built distro to be 'blessed'.
Scratchbox is better but still I'm not sure.
