The reason there aren't any new kernels on nbftp is that
I am currently working on a new set of snapshots and think
it's better to have matching kernel and userland rather than
random kernels lying about.
Well, I'm not sure how to set tools up to cross-build a (64-bit)
kernel. Last I heard there were some serious problems with that.
No, cross compiling the kernel is easy. Just build a toolchain
in src/gnu/dist/toolchain for sparc64-netbsd. Cross compiling
userland is hard.
