I'm a big fan of cross compilation, but introducing it into Fedora in order
to support ARM seems unlikely to succeed for too many reasons to go into.
The reasons are? ....
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.
Well, the mock/rpm part is the smaller part of the issues (I use
customized mock setups on Fedora to build mingw-* and cygwin-* packages).
Solvable, but undoubtedly a ton of work for everyone.
The real issue would be to re-utilize "foreign native rpms" (here
*.arm.rpms) to install them in sys-roots on x86.
(Fedora's mingw*-toolchains are explictly packaged to fit into x86)
