> yes, it first builds emacs, then sbcl, then gets stuck at some point in gdb. i agree, we should add option emacs, and disable emacs,sbcl for cross.

I tried to cross build maxima with ecl, but it doesn't seem to work. The build finishes if I place `ecl` in hostmakedepends but then the binaries produced are x86_64 and not cross... Maybe it's possible to cross build with clisp, but that won't be enough for sage (we really need maxima-ecl).

What we could do is add the emacs option and set the default for aarch64 to ~emacs,~sbcl so you still have to build natively but at least you are not forced to build emacs and sbcl...
