Is cross-compiling "supported" or tested at all by the emacs developers? The reason I'm asking is that I'm finding a number problems, and apart from the following 'configure' parameter, cross-compiling does not seem to be documented: ./configure --help [...] --host=HOST cross-compile to build programs to run on HOST [BUILD] I found below that Peter Brett already tried (see his posting at http://www.groupsrv.com/computers/about161848.html ). He got further than I was able to, but he couldn't get to the end either (I've just checked with him). Should I expect that everything works fine? Or should I give up? If it should work, can someone tell me how to get past his problem? Whether it is expected to work or not, I think the documentation should say something more about cross-compiling.
