There is a way for you to do this, but it won't really work. The problem is that a lot of programs expect to run things that are compiled with the selected compiler when they're being configured. You may have seen messages when building something where there's a sanity check to make sure the compiler can generate a functioning executable. Beyond little but tricky hangups like that it should work in theory. In the end it would be much less headache to do a real install or run under some sort of speedy emulation like maybe QEMU than to try to cross compile.
