That is my experience.

I used to work around a closely related problem when I built build* on
a fast machine, and did the install* on the slow ones. As I was using
automounts, I ended up with incompatible paths baked into the build,
so I worked around those with symlinks.

I never tried this with anything other than i386/i386 or amd64/amd64,
so the above is interesting. Could a viable cross-build* be "fixed" by
symlinks, and somehow and easily forcing a cross-build of the bootstrap
tools?

My RPis wish to know :-)
