Not always. There are some situations where building natively gets the
correct answer. Think of runtime tests, whereas in the cross-compiler
situation the software has to guess, which may not always be right.
You are right, I experienced that, too.
But it is a problem with the configure/Makefiles, rather than a
cross-compiler problem.
A common solution is to provide the answers to the configure scripts via
a cache file. I saw that on emdebian, which heavily uses cross-compilers.
This is an important problem that must be taken in account.
Remember I'm building Gentoo on my CT60 Falcon and it works building
from source, albeit some packages can take a while to compile such as
GCC, but the majority are relatively quick.
Oh, I didn't remember you built it natively. That's impressive.
About the GCC package itself (I mean GCC sources), it is absolutely
huge, and takes a while to compile, on any hardware. It is really an
exception. Other packages compile in a quite acceptable time.
