cross-compiler usually encompasses the toolchain in lay terms.  if you want to 
be strict, then use "toolchain".  "binaries" is too vague: are you talking

talking about the binaries that run under Windows ?

you dont need the pipe if you simply redirect input from /dev/null ... 
otherwise, this looks better than the previous one
