That is true, however some packages can be cross compiled, and people have done real cross compilation from pkgsrc. It's just that many will fail. I'd like to see more of this work over time, but it's a lot of effort to fix (upstream) packages that aren't cross-clean. > The nearest you can get is to use distcc to distribute C compiler jobs > to systems that are much faster than the Raspberry Pi.

Michael Blatt posted a link. This approach should completely work; it's just that things not usable by distcc will still run locally, and thus be slow.
