Depends very much on the software in question.  Sometimes you can just say 
"CC=arm-linux-gcc ./configure" and everything will be peachy.  The trouble is 
that a lot of configure scripts rely on being able to execute test programs.

This would probably be my choice.  You can fairly easily unpick both Debian 
and RedHat package files to get a plain cpio archive containing the binaries.
Most common software has already been compiled and this is usually easier than 
fighting with a cross compiler.
