>Description:
	Trying to cross-build a macppc release, it errors out while
	trying to build fixcoff, like so:

dependall ===> sys/arch/macppc/stand/fixcoff
/usr/tools/bin/nbhost-mkdep -a /usr/users/he/src/sys/arch/macppc/stand/fixcoff/fixcoff.c /usr/users/he/src/sys/arch/macppc/stand/fixcoff/nb_progname.c
cc -O  -c -o fixcoff.lo.o /usr/users/he/src/sys/arch/macppc/stand/fixcoff/fixcoff.c
In file included from /usr/users/he/src/sys/arch/macppc/stand/fixcoff/fixcoff.c:49:
/usr/users/he/src/sys/arch/macppc/stand/fixcoff/../../../../../gnu/dist/toolchain/include/coff/rs6000.h:226: parse error before `bfd_byte'
/usr/users/he/src/sys/arch/macppc/stand/fixcoff/../../../../../gnu/dist/toolchain/include/coff/rs6000.h:226: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union

.....

	Apparently, there's no straight-forward way anymore (as
	fixcoff.c does) to include

#include "../../../../../gnu/dist/toolchain/include/coff/rs6000.h"

	without also including bfd.h, which is a generated header, and
	I can't see how to cleanly include that either.  Apparently,
	also

#include "../../../../../gnu/dist/toolchain/include/coff/xcoff.h" 

	is needed, but that also requires more definitions.


>How-To-Repeat:
	Try to build a release for macppc, watch it fail.

>Fix:
	Don't know; is fixcoff still required?
