Francisco,

Very soon cross-compilation will become a reality for LTP. We've been
using cross-compilation with LTP fairly thoroughly in-house, but the
solution's not even close to perfect. The one I'm working on now with
HEAD is a lot more holistic, and hence we should be able to do away
with manual compiles [of the source tree]. Manual submake compiles
will still be possible.

So, embedded systems can go back to executing code instead of
compiling it, like they should be... exercising *cc still is a good
workout for an embedded system's process [and threading] scheduler and
management system, but you can do it if you like and it'll no longer
be a hard requirement =].

Cheers,
-Garrett
