Cross-compilation works for our internal builds - but they only change 
processor architecture and not the OS (they are all Linux).

I don't know whether anyone outside Oracle is using this means of 
cross-compiling as they also need the actual target platform sources, 
and those tend to come from other projects (IcedTea, Zero, Shark) with 
their own build mechanisms.
