can anybody confirm, that cross compiling is working with make flags:
CROSS_COMPILE_ARCH
ALT_COMPILER_PATH?
With confirm i mean tested and not just read in readme, because theres
also a BUILD_HEADLESS_ONLY in the readme which doesn't work.
Cross-compilation works for our internal builds - but they only change
processor architecture and not the OS (they are all Linux).
Actually there is a piece missing in the README. You may also have to
set the ARCH make variable for the desired architecture. However if you
are 'cross compiling" for x86 that would be a problem because the JDK
side of the build and the Hotspot side of the build use different ARCH
values for 32-bit x86 (i586 and i686 respectively).
I'm not sure if setting CROSS_COMPILE_ARCH=i586 by itself will work. I'm
trying it out now.

I don't know whether anyone outside Oracle is using this means of
cross-compiling as they also need the actual target platform sources,
and those tend to come from other projects (IcedTea, Zero, Shark) with
their own build mechanisms.

Thanks.
