I think it would be nice to add such instructions to\nINSTALL, or to separate INSTALL_CROSS.\n\nThe idea of cross-compiling is to compile Git targeting different architecture\nand/or OS than build machine (for example, compiling for ARM on x86(_64).\n\nNote that for cross-compiling we need a cross-compiler targeting the desired\ntarget, and for binary compatibility with rest of target system, we need\nversions of compiler, libc, and binutils match the ones on the target.\n\nThanks.\n  \n-- \nAn old man doll... just what I always wanted! - Clara\n"}]}
