Yes, apart from that line, your patch looks good to me.

If you need more help from me to test with a cross-compiler, I'm afraid I'm 
not familiar enough with setting up a cross-compiler.

It would make sense to have an Erlang cross-compiler, since recent versions of 
the Erlang compiler can generate and embed native code in the bytecode files, 
but for a single architecture only. I've never tried, and AFAIK nobody has 
ever tried to set it up as a cross-compiler.
Is it just a matter of renaming "erlc" into "i386-gnu-erlc", for instance?
