-## Cross-builds
-
-For developers that want to build and test the `kata-ctl` tool on various architectures,
-the makefile included does have support for that. This would however, require installing
-the cross compile toolchain for the target architecture on the host along with required libraries.
-
-[Cross](https://github.com/cross-rs/cross) is an open source tool that offers zero setup
-cross compile and requires no changes to the system installation for cross-compiling
-rust binaries. It makes use of docker containers for cross-compilation.
-
-You can install cross with:
-```
-cargo install -f cross
-```
-
-`cross` relies on `docker` or `podman`. For dependencies take a look at: https://github.com/cross-rs/cross#dependencies
-
-There is an included `cross` configuration file [Cross.yaml](./Cross.toml) that can be used
-to compile `kata-ctl` for various targets. This configuration helps install required
-dependencies inside a docker container.
-
-For example, to compile for target `s390x-unknown-linux-gnu` included in `Cross.yaml` simple run:
-```
-cross build --target=s390x-unknown-linux-gnu
-```
-
-You may also need to add the target on your host system prior to the above step as:
-```
-rustup target add s390x-unknown-linux-gnu
-```
-
