Cross-compilation is a tools issue; this needs to be dealt
with using the tools you have available.  We use libtool and
autoconf on Unix, so that should give you everything you
need with a GCC-based toolchain.  You should be able to use
the standard documentation for your tools to deal with this.

If it takes anything more than that, please let us know
specifically what you had to do, and we'll add that to the
documentation.  Specific suggested text would be very
helpful; I certainly don't have any cross-compilation
experience myself.

I don't think our team has anyone with PPC expertise.
It would be nice if you could find a solution and submit
it back to this project as a patch.

Thanks!
