No, that should not be necessary.  However, if you use the 1.6 or -current
sources, you should use the "build.sh" script at the top-level source dir
to build either the toolchain or the whole system.

Once that is done, you can then use the "nbconfig" program that appears in
the toolchain bin directory (see BUILDING at the toplevel) to configure
kernels for the cross environemnt (in this way, the tools used for the cross
envrionment are linked to the target sources, not the host).
