Everyone,

I apologize for my previous patch submission (8/23/2013 set of patches) without any background information.  I am looking to cross compile audit for the ARM and PPC platforms.  I am not sure if this has been looked into before but I would get some feedback on a general approach.  

I tried to do a base cross compile but I ran into an issue when the table header files are generated, the executable generated by the makefile were built for the target and not the host.  I modified the makefile to build them for the host but I realized the executables would pull in the headers from the host rather than the target.  I attempted to work around this by porting the gen_tables.c algorithm to a python script to duplicate the header file generation using the target headers rather than the host.  Is this a good approach?  Is there a better way that this could be done a better way that does not use python?  Is this a desired feature?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Clayton
