I apologize for being unclear. I assume that build system has a native
and a cross compiler. I don't assume anything about the target (In my
case target does not have a compiler). Installation happens on the
build system with DISTDIR pointing to an image root directory. Later
image is transfered to the target system.

I'd appreciate it if you could send me a pointer to that discussion.
My search was fruitless.
