It is possible to mostly do a cross build if you do:

$ make CC="$CC" LD="$LD"
There are issues with netem local table generation  

Hi,

thank you for your answer, but with this way i got this:

./normal > normal.dist
./normal: error while loading shared libraries: libm.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

i guess it's the netem issue you've mentioned, imho i cannot install armhf-libs on ubuntu, so i disabled subdirs in Makefile beginning with netem

-SUBDIRS=lib ip tc bridge misc netem genl tipc devlink rdma dcb man vdpa
+SUBDIRS=lib ip tc bridge misc
+#netem genl tipc devlink rdma dcb man vdpa

it seems to did it now

$ file ip/ip
ip/ip: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (GNU/Linux), statically linked, BuildID[sha1]=b36e094bc8681713d91ffe3a085ad4d3c6a1c5ea, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, not stripped

thank you

regards Frank

Cross compile needs to know the compiler for building non-cross tools as well.
This works for me:

make CC="$CC" LD="$LD" HOSTCC=gcc
