-     If you are cross-compiling<indexterm><primary>cross

-     (the architecture PostgreSQL will run on) using the option
-     <option>--host</option>.  The variables <envar>CC</>,
-     <envar>CFLAGS</>, etc. should refer to the build tools for the
-     host architecture.  During the build process, the time-zone
-     database for PostgreSQL is created and a special tool to do that
-     is compiled and run during the build process.  This tool needs to
-     be compiled using a native compiler.  Specify this compiler using
-     the variable <envar>CC_FOR_BUILD</envar>.  Cross compilation
-     requires expert knowledge and the support for this process in the
-     PostgreSQL tree should be considered somewhat experimental.
