Actually, what _i_ would most like to see come out of this is:
	(1) a document which details how to cross-compile the system,
	    or at least the kernel, and
	(2) from people who've done cross-compiling to the port
	    maintainers, a set of 'suggested changes' to makefiles,
	    etc., to make it work.  e.g. "change this compile rule
	    to specify the cc that builds a native binary, change this
	    compile rule to specify the cc that builds the
	    cross-compiled bin," etc.  I think a list of things
	    that need to be done, and diffs for at least one port,
	    would be most useful for getting Real Live Support
	    for cross-compilation in the tree.
