'make emacs' can't run to completion in a cross-environment, but cross-compilation can work well enough in practice. Precisely, 'make temacs' can work with a cross compiler; then you can dump with temacs on the target platform. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (gnu.org, fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (internethalloffame.org) Skype: No way!
