Heh, I suspected as much.

Yes, I have successfully cross compiled gnuradio for the beaglebone in 
the past, and it is happily running on one in my lab as I write. The 
point was to see what would happen using the pybombs tool. I think 
pybombs is a cool tool, and I liked how it worked on an x86 machine over 
the weekend, so I thought I'd try a different architecture. Does the 
pybombs tool accept cross compile options? It isn't obvious that it does 
from looking at config.defaults.
