    Because the initial targets for Moblin Image Creator are all x86-based, we can simplify the build by just using the native compiler either installed in the buildroot or installed on the host workstation (if the workstation is running the same base as the target).


    Regardless of this, one of the advantages of making Moblin Image Creator debian-based is that there is a rich set of cross-compiling packages for just about any architecture. There shouldn't be any problem creating a new platform definition that pulls from an apt database of packages built for the target architecture, and that build additional packages using existing cross-compiling technologies.
