Yes, this use case is not really supported (I don't think even automake
would allow you to do something like this). Normally, you would cross-
compile XSD for the host, run it, and then cross-compile the generated
code for the traget. Then copy the result to the target and run it there.
Won't this more canonical approach work for you?
