We have everything working now, it looks like our Makefiles were
corrupted at some point pre-boxturtle and carried over, perhaps because
of a bug that is now fixed. 

In the future I would like have some standard way of generating a custom
target, but for now things work.

Is there a roadmap for when we can expect better cross-compile support?
