i would not recommend doing that. cross-tools are ment as
a bootstrapping method and then native build is used.
besides all the issues w/ cross-tools don't you think
it was the whole point in creating a port that the
machine can be used for smth? if you prefer using smth
else for compillation why not use that fast machine in
the first place? imho. it's as good as buying a bike
and still driving a car because it's faster.

712/100 does make build in smth about 12h -- not that bad.
