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? I use mock. It's pretty straightforward.
