Greetings!
    I know there have been problems with using the "more current"
GCC releases on (non -current) FBSD releases to build FBSD
itself.
    However, am I correct in assuming that one can safely build
*cross* compilers under reasonably recent FBSD releases using
the latest GCC sources (i.e. host=FBSD2.1R, target=68k)?
Has anyone done this and had decent success?
    Thanx!
