 It probably won't work if your target is uclibc-based (unless your host
happens to be uclibc-based as well :-).  You'd need a host-grub to get
that right.  I tried to do that half a year ago, but it wasn't so easy -
unfortunately I don't remember why not.  Could be a problem with 32/64 bit.
Or with ccache.
