Cross-compile for RPi

[Benjamin]

Good morning

The compile time on the Raspberry seems to stretch towards infinity, which
is why I was wondering about cross-compiling. Also, if we are already
cross-compiling, then the whole idea about an AppImage suddenly starts
making more sense, and...

But before heading down that particular rabbit hole, which parts did you
have to comment out? Unlike with a desktop, the hardware on the Raspberry
is completely standard. If the video card is known to support the GL calls
which are used, would it not make sense to ifdef those calls out and say
that if we are cross-compiling for the platform, then the checks can be
discarded? The hardware itself seems to be stronger than certain laptops
which Subsurface can run on. Or is this just my work life (embedded
systems) bleeding over into my private life? :)
