FWIW, what I've done previously is configure and build under qemu, with
the compiler set to a local distcc client in qemu which ships the
compile jobs out to the native host running a distcc server against a
cross-compiler. So I build natively under emulation, but punt the
compilation to a faster cross-compiler.

In theory scratchbox should be usable to effectively follow the same
technique except far more cleverly transparent and lightweight, i.e. run
a cross compiler automatically for you when compilation is called for,
and automatically run attempt to execute non-native outputted
target-binaries in qemu-user emulation mode. But I've never personally
gotten around to seeing if OOo is buildable under scratchbox.
