Cross-compiling is still very buggy, code built for ARM on x86 can still just _not work_ correctly when deployed on ARM. In such cases, it really does help that my laptop is running x86. I hope running arm stuff will be similar.
- scoopertrooper 5y agoThere is no theoretical limitation on the ability to cross-compile between architectures. There may be bugs in individual compilers or mistakes made in configuring them, but those sorts of problems are solvable. However, how often do you locally compile the binary you deploy? Every company for which I've worked has delegated that activity to a build server.
