Not unless the way it is done currently is changed. New ideas, and patches to implement them 
welcome. But don't just break it.

The tools that we build ourselves and that are used during the build (for instance idlc) are built 
as binaries for the build platform, obviously. In a true cross-compining build one can't run 
binaries for the host ("target") platform. No Wine, QEMU, Rosetta etc is assumed or used even if 
available.

For instance, when cross-compiling to PowerPC Linux from x86_64 Linux (hypothetical example, but as 
such potentially useful), idlc would be in solver/350/unxlngx6.pro/bin, and the PowerPC binaries 
being produced in solver/350/unxlngppc.pro/bin.

Yes please.
