+
+Special notes for cross-hosting a NetBSD build on certain platforms.  
+Only those platforms which have been tested to complete a "build.sh" run
+are listed.
+
+=====
+
+LINUX:
+
+* Tested on RedHat Linux 7.1 (i386).
+
+* The gcc (and libstdc++, if needed) package must be installed, along
+  with the typical system development packages (glibc-devel, etc.).
+
+* The ncurses-devel package must be installed (for nbinfo).
+
+* The zlib and zlib-devel packages must be installed.  This will be
+  fixed in the future to include zlib in libnbcompat.
+
+* src/tools/dbsym will not build on this platform yet.  NO_DBSYM=1 may be set in
+  mk.conf or the environment to cause this to be skipped during the build
+  (harmless to non-embedded platforms).
+
+=====
+
+NETBSD (earlier releases):
+
+* Tested on NetBSD 1.5.2 (machine-independently).
+
+* Should need no special setup.
+
+=====
+
+SOLARIS:
+
+* Tested on Solaris/x86 8 (5.8) with gcc 2.95.2 (not yet tested with
+  SUNWspro).
+
+* $HOST_CC needs to be set properly (for gcc, it should be set to "gcc",
+  otherwise the improper /usr/ucb/cc may be invoked by accident).
+
+* The SUNWxcu4 package (containing /usr/xpg4/bin/*) must be installed.
+
+* The SUNWzlib package (or a built version of zlib visible to $HOST_CC)
+  must be installed.  This will be fixed in the future to include zlib
+  in libnbcompat.
+
+* Needs the following paths, in this order, in $PATH:
+
+      /usr/xpg4/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/bin
+
+  (/usr/ucb may optionally be placed before /usr/bin per your preference,
+  but /usr/ucb *MUST NOT* be before /usr/ccs/bin or /usr/xpg4/bin!)
+
+* /bin/sh *MUST* be replaced with a copy of, or symlink to, either
+  /bin/ksh or /usr/xpg4/bin/sh.  This will be fixed in the future to use
+  /usr/xpg4/bin/sh in nbmake by default.  (Solaris's /bin/sh is broken
+  in some fantastic and amazing ways.)
+
+* Needs the "mktemp" script from src/tools/compat/scripts, made
+  executable, available somewhere in $PATH.  (Solaris has no
+  command-line mktemp(1).)  This may be worked around in the future.
+
+* src/tools/dbsym will not build on this platform yet.  NO_DBSYM=1 may be set in
+  mk.conf or the environment to cause this to be skipped during the build
+  (harmless to non-embedded platforms).
