Cross compiling the auto* based packages can be a bit tricky. The Open (GPL) 
T2 System Development Environemnt can automate all this from boostrapping a 
fresh GCC cross compiler (including C++!!!) to building modular X11R7:

Well, Xserver just names the actual server where Xorg refers to a whole 
organisation and might mean the whole wide set of protocol headers, libraries 
and actual X server and driver implementations. The xserver package as it 
contains the kdrive based server usually used in embedded environments.
