My Debian kernel packages are just updated to Xenomai 2.6.3 and Linux 
3.8.13 (will ask for testing soon), and I'm starting to look at adding 
armhf packages using Robert C Nelson's and Charles Steinkuehler's patch 
sets.  However, I'm brand-new at cross-compiling and would appreciate a 
pointer.

Right out of the box, pbuilder can build in a QEMU-emulated chroot by 
setting --arch=armhf and --debootstrap=qemu-debootstrap.  Super easy. 
Super slow.

Is there a way to cross-compile in an x86 native environment so that the 
(x86 native) compiler/assembler/linker/etc. cross-build for ARM 
architecture?
