I think it goes this way.

You have a development machine, which is most likely an X86 Linux one,
right ?

On that machine you have some kind of desktop, which is based on XFree86,
right ?

The above XFree86 is still the one for the same X86 architecture your whole
development machine is, right ?

Now, you want to cross-compile something, i.e. you want to compile
something for a different than X86 architecture (ARM ?) right ?

If so, ALL the files involved in the cross-compilation and cross-linking
process should exist for that different than X86 architecture (ARM ?)
architecture. Otherwise they won't link because of archirecture difference
and even if they did they wouldn't work - neither X86 know how to execute
ARM code, nor ARM knows how to execute X86 code.
