+Whenever the host OS and the target OS differ, you need to specify +TARGET_SYS or you'll get assembler or linker errors. E.g. if +you're compiling on a Windows or OSX host for embedded Linux or Android, +you need to add TARGET_SYS=Linux to the examples below. For a +minimal target OS, you may need to disable the built-in allocator in +src/Makefile and use TARGET_SYS=Other. +

You can cross-compile for an ARM target on an x86 or x64 host system using a standard GNU cross-compile toolchain (Binutils, GCC, EGLIBC). The CROSS prefix may vary depending on the
