[Ecls-list] Compiling .lsp files to .c, .h

[Denis Martinez]

Currently I use Linux as host and win32 as target, but I also plan Android
later.
If I understand, the cross compile process you speak of creates a bootstrap
compiler matching the target's settings. So I am supposed to build my own
and compile my shared lib using it, right ?
