I did not try to cross compile such new Qt versions myself. You are right that cross compiling between incompatible architectures (like even 32 vs 64 bit) may make things a bit easier, as host libs do not accidentally work, … However, ideally the packages should have configure glue script code in our .conf and patches to make them build in any case. Any patch to improve cross compilation for any package would be totally awesome! You can also send it mostly working modifications to apply or for comments.
