Wel, I use the tools regularly to build mac68k kernels for my IIci 
(25MHz 68030).  Running the cross-compile tools cuts build time from
4+ hours to just 20 minutes on a 733MHz P-III.  So far, all failures
to boot have been my own code's problem, not due to anything in the
cross-compile environment.
