"In a posting to the lkml, Al Viro offered a guide on how to cross-compile multiple platforms in parallel. He begins, 'contrary to popular beliefs, crosscompiling and full builds for a bunch of platforms are not hard and not particulary time-consuming. Below are my notes on the setup and practices; I hope it will be useful and I _really_ hope that people will start doing similar things.' He goes on to note that he currently does regular cross compiles for six different platforms. Cross compiling in this context is building source code on one architecture to be run on another architecture. In this case, it can be useful to verify that changes focused on one architecture don't accidently break the build on another architecture..."
