Is it normal that compile-compiler.log contains 2 errors when
cross-compiling the compiler?

; Reader error at 4102 in compiler/generic/core.lisp
; Symbol "FIXUP-CODE-OBJECT" not found in the X86 package.

; Reader error at 6379 in compiler/generic/core.lisp:
; Symbol "SANCTIFY-FOR-EXECUTION" not found in the X86 package.

I used: src/tools/cross-build-world.sh b/target b/cross src/tools/cross-scripts/cross-x86-x86.lisp cmucl -noinit

I think the rest builds ok.
