Hmm, probably my suggesion was not a good one - it was just a random thought, caused by problems I had in past with inconsistency between libs installed on the target and libs (and headers) used on host to cross-compile. The target was ipaq, and the solution I resulter in was a script that converted libfoo-arm-cross deb used for corss-compiling into libfoo ipk package used on the target. > Could you tell more about this.
