Which is unfortunately the case for most (if not all) Linux distributions as a 
significant number of frameworks and applications don't cross compile at all. 
So they need to compile on target.

Sometimes it's an option to use an emulated environment (qemu), but often 
that's even slower than on target. A hybrid approach that runs under qemu and 
runs a native cross compiler disguised as a target compiler is also possible, 
but not easy to achieve.
