linaro-hwpack-create should support cross

[Tom Gall]

This is a wishlist item.

While running linaro-hwpack-create on my intel natty install it failed out with the enclosed error messages. Like linaro-media-create, etc, I'd like to suggest that linaro-hwpack-create should be able to run in a cross fashion.

It does run on intel, but this is looking like bug 885895, which is fixed in trunk. The interesting thing is that I thought that bug was introduced with MultiArch in oneiric
