Cross-compiling large packages with GCC

I recently installed the cross compiler version of gcc-2.4.5
on our sparc stations to compile to sun3-binaries. The
installation, with newer versions of gas and the binutils
went smoothly. Compiling small things ( hello.c ) work ok.
However, it was the lure of compiling things like X or emacs
that would take hours on the sun 3/60's we have that led me
to make the cross compilers. Yet, these packages don't seem
to have a consistent way of calling the compiler, ar, nm, strip,
ranlib, so something simple like "make CC="sun3-gcc" doesn't
often work for the entire build. So let me ask just about
two that I need now.

1) building X11R5 from scratch on a sparc for a Sun3.
2) building emacs-19.18 or so on a sparc for a Sun3.

What had to be done to build these?
Thanks, Clarence
