It depends. I, for example, cross-compile all the stuff on PC, but
this PC (x86_64) is able to run simple ARM binaries (needed by
configure scripts etc) using binfmt+ssh to a real ARM machine.
Even without chroot is works fine, with chroot it would probably
be almost automatic. The scripts think I'm doing native builds.
I assume one could use an emulator instead of ssh.
