This *is* an open-source project plug:

The www.openembedded.org guys have solved this problem.

As with most open-source project, it takes some time digging in before 
it starts getting productive, and documentation comes after product.

This project took me two weeks to fully grasp; I am now happily 
cross-building whatever comes at me (toolchains, kernels, root 
filesystems, applications) by starting a builder and waiting. About 3000 
packages available, ~95% of them cross-compile properly.

autoconf, libtool, pkg-config is all handled correctly.

Before this, I tried buildroot (simple, works) and to a lesser extend 
scratchbox before.
