+                   Unfortunately cross-compiling is too case-specific to

+                   to actually make it work. Android and iOS cases are
+                   discussed in corresponding Configurations/10-main.cf
+                   sections. But there are cases when this option alone is
+                   sufficient. For example to build the mingw64 target on

+                   works. Naturally provided that mingw packages are
+                   installed. Today Debian and Ubuntu users have option to
+                   install a number of prepackaged cross-compilers along
+                   with corresponding run-time and development packages for
+                   "alien" hardware. To give another example
+                   "--cross-compile-prefix=mipsel-linux-gnu-" suffices
+                   in such case. Needless to mention that you have to
+                   invoke ./Configure, not ./config, and pass your target
+                   name explicitly.
