For data points, Emacs is lisp-based and can be cross-compiled. Maybe
Stallman and friends don't understand how lisp works, however they made
Emacs cross-compilable. But, since that is from the real world, it
probably does not count.

Properly distinguish build, host and target specific tools and files.
Make sure that, for example, when GCL tries to compile a function,
it invokes the adequate C compiler; that GCL is itself compiled with
the adequate C compiler etc.

I don't know; however, you're most certainly welcome to explain why you
believe people suggesting cross-compilation of Axiom don't know how
lisp works.
