Hello,

Is it possible to compile .elc files on a different host architecture
than the intendend target architecture?

In this case I'm compiling Emacs 23 on a Qemu virtual ARM architecture
machine, for the Openmoko Freerunner. The lisp compilation takes a long
time on this emulator, so I was thinking of speeding up the compilation
by moving as much as possible out of the emulator, on to the host
machine.

Yes, of course.  This is how Emacs release tarballs are produced: they
include all the *.elc files, and yet are tarred only on a single
architecture.

The *.elc files are architecture-independent.

Thanks, and good to hear!  I asked, because previously I have
experienced problems with .elc files, but those have been with different
versions of emacs, not different architectures.
