No. Depends on when I finish off what is needed. Not being fully self-hosting is no excuse for either (1) not trying FreeBSD on the platform; or (2) actually using the platform for development. > B) Is the current recommended practice to do all building on some > handy i386 platform with cross-platform compilation capability > and NFS/tftp/ftp the bits over to the sparc64 machine as required? No. We have a hosted (runs on Sparc64, generates binaries for Sparc64) toolchain, just not a native one that can be used in `make world'.
