This is generally correct, but increasingly the base package set is
set up to cross-build. Some work is still needed on merging the
relevant fixes from ubuntu, and sorting out the cross-compiler setup
situation, but we're getting there slowly. All the fundamentals are in
good shape.

I have to disgree here. autconf's cross-build support is good and
generally works pretty well. Of the many build systems out there it is
one of the least-bad in this regard.
