[ILUG] Cross-compiling emacs

[Éibhear]

Hi,

I am in the process of building GNU emacs for my YOPY linux-based PDA 
(http://www.yopy.com/). It's uses an ARM chip. Needless to say, the poor 
thing is too small to install a C development environment, so I am 
cross-compiling it on my x86 desktop.

However, during the build, emacs uses some of the binary executables it 
builds: test-distrib, make-docfile, temacs and emacs itself. Of course, 
they fail, and the build doesn't complete.

Has anyone any ideas on how this should be handled?

Thanks,

Éibhear
