Compiling on a powerpc platform dose not automatically make things just
work you may have to build a cross compiler anyway depending on what
bugs in the target you have to work around.
Some programs is simpler to build native for sure but on the few times I
resorted to that I could build on the development card. It's nice to
have more than one platform for other reasons like when things do not
work you have something to compare against.
