Hi,

Thanks very much.  One more question though.  I've been 99% (*)
sucessfull building everything to run with softfloat.  The one
glitch I had was xsrc.  I was able to make this work by
nfs mounting this on my lc040 box and building from there, but
it was over 14 hrs.  Is there a way to cross build xsrc?  Is
nbmake-mac68k the magic word here in place of make?

Thanks!

(*) My full system build with softfloat seesm to work well except
for two cases.

- The WCPU field in top is now negative.  Must mean my system
got faster :-)
- ps's output is fairly fubared.  It's got a load o' spaces in the
front of each line.

I'm investgating these of course.

If you want to try the tar file is at (for now):
