Hey Marius,

Never looked into it, but it seems that nix has proper cross compilation support for meson (using cross-file.conf as you mentionned), see: nixpkgs/pkgs/development/tools/build-managers/meson/default.nix Sadly there are other build-systems where cross-compiling isn't supported: * scons.scm * haskell.scm * python.scm * ruby.scm * perl.scm * meson.scm * r.scm * android-ndk.scm * go.scm * waf.scm * emacs.scm * asdf.scm * ocaml.scm * node.scm * julia.scm * dune.scm * dub.scm * ant.scm * linux-module.scm * rakudo.scm * cargo.scm * glib-or-gtk.scm As I think that using --system is not viable (horribly slow, hard to find native hardware to cook substitutes), extending cross-compilation support is very important IMO. Thanks, Mathieu
