The grub-help list came through with an alternative approach:
"./configure CC=powerpc-linux-gcc --host=ppc-linux-gnu --target=i386
--with-platform=pc TARGET_CC=i386-linux-gcc"
This would allow for building on a host of arch ppc for a target of arch
i386.
Would it be preferable then to build this as a target package and
manipuate the configure flags to use the BUILD_CC ? I presume a similar
PN rename would be desirable to account for the HOST component of the
build as I used here for the TARGET on the -native version?
