MAC OS X build.  Likely an oversight on my part.

Yes.

Yup.  That's the idea.  The other part of the ideas I've had was to
have buildworld behave differently when CROSS_COMPILER=xxxx-ytyyyy- is
set.  Have it just build w/o building the tools to build freebsd (at
least not the compiler/linker parts).
