Are they? First you need a cross-gcc, you can't build it without libc or magic tricks like -Dinhibit_libc. For big-endian ARM, you have to modify gcc because otherwise it won't generate normal (non-kernel) BE code (you need BE gcc lib, but I don't recomment multilib BE/LE gcc either).
Sure, a cross compiler is a pre-requisite to cross compiling :-) Binutils too. If you have old versions of packages such as glibc (and anything else that requires headers or libraries) you can drop them into a sys-root which the cross-tools use when compiling/linking. Generally you will need one cross compiler per supported arch.
bash... can you cross-compile bash at all? Not sure about current situation (my box can run ARM programs as well and configure thinks it's native) but ~ 2 years ago it was impossible without much handcraft.
Bash needs a little work. It's not a beast like perl, though. -- Brendan Conoboy / Red Hat, Inc. / blc@xxxxxxxxxx -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
