There is nothing that inherently prevents a cross compiler from generating code that is just as efficient as "native code". Cross compilers are quite common in the embedded device arena, where the device does not have sufficient resources itself to host a compiler. It is entirely possible that a cross compiler environment can produce superior code to a native compiler due to additional resources on the cross compiler's host that allows better optimizations.
