All of Slackware ARM is built natively, using distcc to several x86 cores
with the cross compiler. Cross compiling is problematic when the package
wants to build against a particular library that's existant on the host
which can be worked around but it's a lot of effort to maintain build
scripts that produce what you're looking for in a package when
x-compiling.

Once you know what systems you're targetting, it's easy.
