You mean, distribute temacs, and make it dump emacs at installation
time? It could be done, I see no technical issues with that, although
I think it would be a very unusual thing to do.
I don't see the motivation, though, certainly not for Windows: the
existing build procedure works reliably on the target host, so making
changes to distributions for the benefit of cross-compilation makes
little sense to me. But I have no experience in packaging.
