If you look at my RPM packages, you'll see I'm already doing this. I've
already thought of making global cross-compilation configuration files for
each host containing appropriate definitions. I'm not sure how to
integrate it with RPM, yet (the macro definition file is a good
candidate). I didn't make any progress due to a low priority of this
task.
