In that case, 32/64 bit stuff has been the cause...

Hmm. While there are *particular* problems doing 32->64 bit cross
compilation, doing any 32->32 compilation is probably *quite* solid.
(In particular, compilers targeting the 68k are probably *better* than
the x86 native compiler -- because we've [we==Cygnus] actually had a
lot of paying 68k custo

But if you do that, you haven't tested whether your package is really
running on another architecture...
