We didn't have enough people for quorum this week.  We'll hold a meeting 
next week (July 22) to see if we can get quorum to pass things.

We did a little talking about cross compiling in general at our meeting. 
  Those who were there thought that having a separate source rpm 
per-package-per-library makes more sense than subpackages (likely 
different maintainers, having to maintain two sets of build instructions 
in the spec, some cross-compilers require more invasive changes, and 
simply not scaling in a general way when we have multiple cross-compilers.)

I'll note that neither Hans nor Ralf were present (both on the embedded 
SIG) and their input could definitely change this but the present 
thinking is that separate packages are the way to go.
