+=head1 CROSS-COMPILATION
+
+Nothing too unusual here.  You can easily do this if you have a 
+cross-compiler available;  A usual Configure invocation when targetting a
+Solaris x86 looks something like this:
+
+    sh ./Configure -des -Dusecrosscompile \
+        -Dcc=i386-pc-solaris2.11-gcc      \
+        -Dsysroot=$SYSROOT                \
+        -Alddlflags=" -Wl,-z,notext"      \
+        -Dtargethost=... # The usual cross-compilation options
+
