that's not cross compiling, that's compiling on an emulator. cross
compilers directly generate code for the target platform.

for a platform other than the one on which the compiler is running.
For example, a compiler that runs on a Windows 7 PC but generates code
that runs on Android smartphone is a cross compiler."
