if you do run into any problems cross compiling on the Debian PC then might I suggest looking into distcc and "compiling" on your BBB but let the PC workhorse do the actual compile.
Over on the Machinekit forum I've setup Machinekit to compile on my BBB but it took over an hour. After setting up the cross compiler on my laptop and putting distcc on both PC and BBB, I cut compile time down to 34 minutes. And the nice part is, I keep the BBB with the build packages and my PC just pounds on the compiled files sent over the network to it.
