Since the term "native" seems to have triggered many other (very
interesting) posts, just for completeness: in fact I chose bad wording
for what I wanted to say in this post. In this case, with "native" I
merely meant a real Linux box (vs. a Windows box), not necessarily a
native ppc-linux machine.
Native ppc-linux is definitely one way to go, although I'd tend to
hold with one of the other posts to this thread. It pointed out the
necessity/robustness/repoducability/beauty of clearly distincting
between the host and the target.
