Looking over that page, an important feature seems to be missing:
is it assumed that it is impossible to run the binaries that we  
cross-compile for. For most of the cases, this is probably true  but  
there are cases where it IS possible to run those binaries, e.g. using  
wine when cross-compiling from Linux for Windows using mingw32, or  
when having a simulator of the target or when the current operating  
system has built-in support for the binaries of another operating  
system.
It would be nice to add the possibility to specify a method to run  
such binaries or even that the OS can run them on its own (e.g. via  
binfmt-misc on linux).

This would make it much more integrated and takes the burden off the  
user to specify numerous return results.
