FAQ
Why don't you use cross compiling ?
For some simple reason. First, even if it sounds simple, it implies to recompile gcc, and to provide a clean way to install the libs side by side with the others (the native one).
Then most of the programs need to run something, such as a test, or a configure script. Even if the configure script can be tricked, then, the building libs should be identical, with some kinds of chroot. You also need to specify where to find the library, because, by default, everything is searched in /usr/lib, where the native ones live.
And, last reason, this is not worth the work. Because package need to be tested, and because, as you have seen, all computers are here. Of course, if someone is able to do it in a clean way, this can be used, but, this is too much work for almost no gain.
