These 2 are definitively not relevant for this package, see for example also
gcc, it includes .obj and .h files too, without putting them in a seperate
-devel package. If the packages sole purpose is to compile other programs,
putting bits of it in a -devel package is nonsense.

Notice that there are some WIP cross compiler packaging guidelines here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/SIGs/Embedded/CrossCompiling
But these badly need updating.
And as already said above, clearly it doesn't, because these guidelines do not
make any sense in the case of this package.
