Sagar Behere has written down a nice blog post on a new way of cross compiling the Orocos Toolchain. See his announcement below:
http://techblog.sagar.se/blog/2013/05/16/yet-another-guide-to-cross-compiling-the-orocos-toolchain/
This method is quite painless, because there is no need to cross-compile the various supporting stuff like boost, libxml2, omniorb etc. Instead, we use xapt.
The howto is attached in markdown format, if anyone wants to put it on the orocos wiki.
Just my way of saying thanks for the good help I receive here :)
