Not hugely. My aboriginal linux project cross compiles the simplest native development environment I could make, then boots it under qemu and builds things like Linux From Scratch under the result. http://landley.net/aboriginal My automated LFS builder (http://landley.net/aboriginal/control-images) is still 6.8 because I haven't had time to update it recently, but it's target-agnostic and runs the same on arm, mips, powerpc, and so on. I do one bit on non-obvious magic: http://landley.net/hg/control-images/file/63663cdfbe32/common/bootstrap/build-one-package.sh#l31 But only because autoconf is useless and I've used this to build on prototype architectures like the Qualcomm Hexagon before they went upstream, so the config.guess block copied into each package didn't know that one existed.
