So, what is src/gnu/dist/toolchain meant for? An alternative /
replacement / more actual compared to the older in-tree stuff?
Cross-compiling? Both?

How to build this?

Several pkgsrc stuff requires/builds the pkgsrc/devel/gettext-lib
(libintl.so.1) which superseeds the system /usr/lib/libintl.so.0. Then

Aah, good to know. :-)
