The armlinux crap is about using an hard-coded ARM toolchain. In general, the 
linux is the right thing to do.

You may be assuming an equivalence between ARM and cross-compilation (as far 
as Linux is concerned). This is wrong. ARM is _not_ cross-compiled on RPM and 
Debian-style platforms (e.g. N9). And there are no reasons why only ARM would 
be cross-compiled either.

That ?*linux live555 targets are just crap.
