cross compile?

  I might not have been clear enough earlier: the FreeBSD buildworld
process builds the cross-compiler itself as the first step of the build,
setting up the appropriate 'clean' environment so it pulls in correct
libs/headers/etc.

  Rolling your own can kind-of work for just the kernel (I did that for
a while), but you're much better off using the sanctioned way.
It's a lot less drama.

  Is that what you wanted to do, buildworld ? Or something more
exotic that does require a cross-compiler ?

later,

Peter.
