OTP-8323 Miscellaneous cross compilation improvements. For example, one
new mandatory configuration variable that replaces all other previously mandatory configuration variables, and better documentation. Note that old cross compilation configurations cannot be used without modifications. For more information see the $ERL_TOP/xcomp/README file.

-This directory contains configuration file templates and examples for
-cross compiling Erlang/OTP. The configuration files should be supplied to
-$ERl_TOP/otp_build in the ./otp_build env_cross command to set up an
-appropriate environment for cross compiling.
-
-Copy the template file erl-xcomp.conf.template to an appropriate name
-and fill in at least the mandatory parts before attempting cross
-compilation. See the template file for details on configuration
-parameters and see the example erl-xcomp-TileraMDE2.0-tilepro.conf for
-an example of a working configuration file.
-
-The support for cross compiling is in it's early stage of development,
-it works for cross compiling some gnu/linux systems, but has only been partly
-tested for more esotheric platforms. The vxworks example file is highly
-dependent on our environment and is here more or less for internal use.
-
-Please submit any patches for cross compiling in a way consistent with
-this system. Variables should be added to the configuration file,
-which is sourced both by $ERL_TOP/otp_build and each configure
-script. If a new configuration variable is needed for your system, add
-it to the template file, use it in otp_build and/or configure and
-submit the patch to erlang-patches for further integration into the
-main branch. All input is welcome as we cannot possibly have all cross
-compiling environments out there to test with.
