The main reason for not using mock (without drifting too much off topic) 
is because it sets up the chroot environment to mirror the target arch, 
which is not suitable to me at all - the main reason I use 
cross-compilation is to utilise the power of the build machine and its 
architecture - the last think I expected is mock to install GCC and its 
accompanying tools for the (slow) target arch instead of install/build 
them for the build arch with the ability for them to cross-compile.

(I am executing this as root as you can imagine).

Interesting! I get the desired results and the machine on which this is 
executed has all the latest (and greatest) packages in it, so I am not 
using something which could be considered outdated (even though it is 
all FC13-based a lot of the stuff there is compiled and build from the 
newest available sources).

-bash-4.1# ausearch --version
ausearch version 2.1.1
