To clarify: the build infrastructure would probably support it, perhaps
with minor modifications -- IF you had a properly working cross-compiler
and you were able to bootstrap all of the dependencies up through the
cross-tools build stage with that compiler on Linux. Nobody has done this
to my knowledge, so probably it would be a fair amount of work to actually
get it all working.

Best,
Sam
