I have some experience with "pathologic" cross-compile resistant
packages.  Both Gforth and Emacs need the target system for
bootstrapping the final executable (well in case of Gforth it only
bootstraps an "image file" but that's used like an executable).

In the Gforth case, the final compilation step is defered via a shell
script to take place on the nanonote, when Gforth is started for the
first time (takes a few extra secs).  In the Emacs case, the qemu *user
space* emulator is used to run the final compilation step (this takes a
lot of time and memory, so we can't even perform it on the nanonote).

Here are the openwrt recipies:
