Does gobject-introspection support the cross-compile?

[Rongqing Li <rongqing li windriver com>]

Hi:

   I want to compile gobject-introspection for arm cpu in x86 host,
both are linux OS. The compilation failed since g-ir-compiler
(compiled for arm) can not run on x86.

   Could you tell me if it supports the cross-compile, if not, what
should I do to enable it? is it possible that I use the host's
g-ir-compiler/g-ir-scanner to compiler the target(arm cpu) file.
