This email assumes you are using autotools ....

I've seen a guy compile one in OE so it is possible. Hopefully, he can 
post the bb file he used here :)

Outside of OE, you should be able to use the standard cross-compile 
options to configure, but you'll have to tell it where the 
cross-compiled version of gnu radio radio is.

It should also be possible to install the required libraries on the 
omap3 platform and a tool chain and compile there :) I've done that with 
small pieces of test code, but have not tried anything needing more than 
standard libraries.
