Howdy.  :)

(btw, I'm CC'ing the backports mailing list, which is a better place to 
 ask these sorts of questions)

I found that the backports cross-compile process worked much the same 
way as building compat-wireless.  This is what I'm doing currently in my 
build script:  (This is using a backports package generated last night 
using the backports git HEAD code with the cw1200 driver integrated)

 set -a
 CROSS_COMPILE=${CROSS_COMPILE} 
 ARCH=${TARGET_CPU}
 KLIB_BUILD=${DEV_PATH}/${LINUX_DIR}
 KLIB=${TARGET_ROOT_ON_HOST}
 set +a
 make oldconfig  # menuconfig worked here too
 make
 make install

That said, the 'make install' target isn't currently sane for 
cross-builds due to the bacport_firmware_install script not respecting 
prefixes.  I just commented that script (and a few others like initrd 
updates) out of the Makefiles, and I had a successful build/install.
