I haven't tried, but I think it's probably pretty straightforward.  I've 
cross-compiled other Qt applications for two different ARM platforms. 
Building the core application should be quite simple; especially since 
you can build it from within a running environment.

I'm not completely sure about the many dependencies, but it seems likely 
that they're all achievable.

To test this, I fired Rosegarden up on my rather faster quad core and 
opened just a stupid number of editor windows.  I monitored my CPU 
activity, and it seemed to be distributed pretty well across the cores.

Ted Felix reduced Rosegarden's CPU usage very dramatically since the 
last time I tested on lower spec hardware.  I probably could have 
managed to make this go a few years ago, and today, the chances are 
considerably better.

I'd go for it.  It will probably work.
