Well, in a archtectural point of view, one of the main advantages of using an embedded linux system as target is that the steps used to compile for desktop enviroments are the "same" used to build embedded building. So, i i think there is no a specific list of steps to perform cross-compilation, except howto used in specific toolchains.
