Well for Haiku we do have linux (and OSX or even cygwin) cross- compilation support and do use it a lot. We even have a build factory that makes nightly builds : http://haiku-files.org/ It's possible to add external apps to the Haiku build but it uses Jam. Still it shouldn't be too hard to reuse the generated cross gcc & tools from make, but I never tried. I don't think it's worth trying for BeOS (and Haiku builds will give lots of indices bout the BeOS one). François.
