I've gotten together a set of patches which let me cross-compile mac68k on
my i386. They include patches to sh, a number of games, a patch to
bsd.lib.mk to make it deal with DESTDIR'd libraries right, patches to not
compile tn3270 and xlint (tn3270 needs more patches to xcompile and xlint
crashed my xcompiler :-( ), and fairly massive changes to get gcc to be
cross-compilable.
I'll try to get them on ftp.netbsd.org later today.
Take care,
Bill
