If you cross-compile, you just redefine most of the stuff like CcCmd,
ArCmd, etc, anyway.
Yes, but you have to make sure the redefinitions don't get redefined
again, therefore IMHO an "#ifdef AsCmd" is needed. Otherwise the
definition in hosts.def will be overriden by the one in linux.cf.
Does X building ever need the hostcompiler?
This depends on your taste basically. If you want 'clean' build w/o
stupid errors, you should define CROSS_COMPILE and other macros to be
used diring cross compilation. After that, X understands there are
hostcompiler and crosscompiler. Then, makedepend & Co are compiled by
hostcompiler and X server itself are compiler by cross compiler. In
principle, you may safely ignore all that stuff and be ready to build
makedep & Co manually.
