Is it possible to build dracut for system/architecture which is different from
the host on which dracut is run?
I have been looking through the various functions dracut provides (inst_binary
in particular) and it seems that dracut picks-up dependencies/libraries/kernel
modules and files on the host machine when building the initrd image, which to
me indicates that the resulting initrd image is tied to the current
kernel/architecture on which the host is run and cross-building won't be possible.
kernel/architecture, yes
Cross building for other architectures is difficult, because all the tools like
"ldd", "modprobe", etc. would have to be cross tools.
Kernel could be solved by specifying the kernel version and having that version
installed.
