Emacs setup (for both C and C++):

(defun des-knf ()
  (interactive)

  ;; Basic indent is 8 spaces
  (make-local-variable 'c-basic-offset)
  (setq c-basic-offset 8)

  ;; Continuation lines are indented 4 spaces
  (make-local-variable 'c-offsets-alist)
  (c-set-offset 'arglist-cont 4)
  (c-set-offset 'arglist-cont-nonempty 4)
  (c-set-offset 'statement-cont 4)

  ;; Labels are flush to the left
  (c-set-offset 'label [0])

  ;; Fill column
  (make-local-variable 'fill-column)
  (setq fill-column 74))

(add-hook 'c-mode-common-hook 'des-knf)

As for how to cross-build, read build(7).
