Comment(by andreasf):
In addition to what korli has said, I think Haiku has the responsibility
to ''allow'' cross-compilation, whether strictly needed or not.
A script, as originally outlined here, is handy for actively working with
changing headers in the working copy. For example, I've cross-compiled
signal test apps for x86 SA_SIGINFO, for speed reasons and to facilitate
keeping source code changes across {{{haiku.image}}}s.
Since we have no working ppc userland or Optional Package for x86, I have
cross-compiled a ppc Hello World app for my QEMU haiku-user emulator-to-
be.
An alternative to a script might be to have some Jam target / script to
setup include and lib directories appropriately for standalone use,
similar to the development Optional Packages for Haiku itself.
Feel free to lower the priority though.
