Configuring cross-compilation between ARM and x86
Though many of the recent ARM devices have great performance and the same core numbers, as their desktop fellows, there are always those whose performance is not sufficient enough to do complicated work in a reasonable amount of time. Don't want to be bored by endless hours of compilation? Use OpenEmbedded builds. OpenEmbedded is a build framework to create Linux distributions and can cross-compile for a large variety of architectures.
Getting ready
We will need a real or emulated ARM device with Linux installed on it. The following recipes are primarily for the deb-based distributions, but the general idea remains the same for any ARM-based device that runs Linux kernel with GNU-based tools.
