cross-compilation wouldn't help here ;)

In general I would still like to focus on software *people* compile
often enough to get annoyed by slow native builds. Eg. to cut down the
edit-compile-run-debug cycle time. Some obscure software that nobody
uses but still takes ages to compile on buildds would be nice to
cross-compile, but to who? For the official archives these packages
still need to be compiled natively.
