Cross-compilers.

[Philip Balister]

The OpenEmbedded guys do have some support for generating rpm's. It may 
not be 100% due to bit rot, but some people are getting interested in 
making the rpm stuff work again.

With OE, the command "bitbake FC6" could produce a set of rpms for the 
release and the required install images. By changing the underlying 
machine file, the build could be targeted to different systems.
