Yup. Bad enough, but gtk is not very cross compilation friendly in this
regard. I'd have to build gtk-update-icon-cache for the host, but in
order to even configure it in a separate directory, it is necessary to
install glib/atk/pango/cairo/fontconfig/half-of-X, although it would
probably only need glib. I've no real idea for a good solution, probably
something like a '--enable-tools' and '--enable-libs' switches, which
default to the current case, but make it possible to build only these
tools necessary for a cross build.

The code that hardcodes argv[1] to be the filename is equal in both
versions, so I don't see why it shoud work differently. But maybe I'm
missing something. Did you test it, or is it just an assumption?
