The bug/patch I mentioned above seems to still have some outstanding issues (given the discussion in the bug itself) - cross compiling on the demo machine/website won't come for free. Any ideas on what we should do there? Should we actually get the demo machine setup with all the necessary libs/things to do real cross compilation?

Mostly I was bringing this up to make sure the existing outstanding work, patch, and bug were resolved rather than left to rot some more. More or less I'm asking Chris if, given the points raised in the bug regarding multi-architecture targeting, he still felt it was something worth pursuing or not.

Are you interested in showing the -S output?  I think it would be nice to be able to get (for example) ARMv7 and X86 output.  I don't think that going farther than that is a good idea though.
