The D-I build process copies/uses quite a few files from the host system into images while building an image. For example it uses library PIC files on the host system for library reduction (mklibs). Implementing cross-build support is a *HUGE* task which would require fundamental changes in the build system. As these changes will probably also be complications and thus increase maintenance cost for the build system, I very much doubt this is worth the effort. IMO, as long as the reason is only "it would be nice if", it's a major waste of time. Cheers, FJP -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
