Cross compilation on Sparc/Solaris for Intel/Linux?

[Christine Radomsky <Christine dot Radomsky at alcatel dot de>]

Hi all,

Recently, we have started a project with target OS Linux on
Intel PC.
As there are no Linux PC, but several Sparc servers with
Solaris 6 available
(from a previous project), there is the idea to
cross-compile
with gcc on Solaris.

I heard about the fact, that cross-compiled binaries are
larger
and less performant than those compiled on the target
platform.
Is this the only disadvantage?
I would feel much more secure when compiling directly on
Linux PC,
but cannot specify potential problems for cross compilation.

Can you?

Which experience did you made with cross compilation on
Sparc/Solaris for
Intel/Linux?

Thanks in advance
Christine
