This sounds great! I will definitely try it.
I also have a headless app and I will see if I could make it work.

Had a look at the cross-compiling cmake files, looks straight forward.
I assume I have to define GAMMARAY_PROBE_ONLY_BUILD when cross-compiling,
so why not defining GAMMARAY_PROBE_ONLY_BUILD already in the target cmake file?
