Sure. Somebody unknown to the community suddenly coming here and suggesting a feature alone would not achieve anything. If there were infinite engineering resources and motivated contributors, and if sufficient number of contributors thought something is worth doing, it would already have been done. And "cross compilation" is one of the things that is so obvious "isn't it nice if we had..." items. At least the offer has to be a bit more, like "I'll help in this and that area (e.g., organizing the effort, keeping track of progress, researching dependencies, ...). Any others who want to join forces?" Thanks.
