That's the entire problem with cross-building. Ports are very complex 
systems and I think it's cleaner to just build them in an ARM emulator.
There are far too many dependencies to keep track of otherwise, at least

When I find time to struggle with QEMU again, I'll try to post a summary 
here...presuming I can get this to work.
