I did a bit of this a while back - I wrote a script to run emsource on the 100-odd packages in a debootstrap base and then build them all to see how many worked. But then I ran out of space on that box, so I'm not sure what proprtion worked. Lots more than would cross-build, certainly. > The first open issue is the compiler packages, emsetup looks for > "native-cross" compiler and I believe there are more issues as > dpkg-cross, apt-cross, ... You don't _have_ to run emsetup, but yes it could be made easier to do native builds.
