I will fix all toolchain problems and push the changes back to the FSF repo when that happens. Cross-building just takes way too long to do a run to test something as you have to build 1/2 the world when you're only interested in a single component. Part of the success of sparc64 was that jake and tmm made such tarballs available and concentrated on the parts only they could do -- kernel stability and development. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ppc" in the body of the message
