We use cross-compilation right now for mingw-* packages (for Windows). However you cannot use cross-compilation to create a foo-*.armv7hl.rpm package. That's because our entire toolchain, from RPM through Koji, simply does not understand cross-compilation properly. Solvable, but undoubtedly a ton of work for everyone.
