Well, yes, perhaps if I knew how it was all supposed to work... and the
same would also have to be done to everything in /usr/src/gnu, since the
pkgsrc/cross are based on the same sources as /usr/src/gnu is, but
getting more and more out of sync... And this would of course mean
getting even more out of sync with the original gnu sources.
