Hints for waf?

[bramtayl]

I'm trying to compile TDB and it seems like TDB uses waf to compile, and waf can't cross compile, but requires an external emulator (qemu?) and...to be honest I get lost about there. Maybe there could be hints for the waf system? They document cross compilation here https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Waf#cross-compiling

Well, we'd need first support for emulators, see #10

I'd done a waf build some time ago. Seemed to work .. (eventually) . You have to set the TARGET as an environment variable for it to cross compile.

Seems like what would be needed is cross-answers files: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Waf#Using_--cross-answers
