[RFC] Do we care about binary compatibility of code produced by cross-compilers?

Hi,

While we are at it, I think I need a clarification about link-time tests: in the current configure.ac there is this comment:

  # Only do link tests if native. Else, hardcode.

thus, I'm not sure to understand the status of those tests: are or not generally allowed also when cross-compiling?

Paolo.
