I'm trying to cross-compile xfsprogs-2.6.10. I have successfully run the configure script specifying the correct build, target and host strings. Most of xfsprogs builds properly, except for mkfs. Building mkfs requires building mkfs/maxtrres and then _running_ it, which means its a build-system binary, not a target binary. Unfortunately the xfsprogs Makefiles don't make any distinction, and use the target compiler/linker to build maxtrres, which means it won't run on the build system.

I can manually build and run it for now using the correct compiler/linker, but this should be properly fixed in the xfsprogs distribution.
