First, thanks for making the switch happen, Jason!  Between the holidays,
a few days up skiiing, and an impending release at work, I haven't had 
near enough NetBSD hacking time lately to finish off the last little bits
of this...  Hopefully that will happen in the next week or so.

As a heads-up to everyone, profiling is still broken with the new tool-
chain (unless Jason's fixed it in the last few days and I haven't caught
up to that email yet 8-), but the good news is I have a fix just need to
find the time to get it in the tree.

The *really* good news is that my last x86->mipseb (sgimips) cross-built 
with the new toolchain worked *really* well and fixed a bunch of cross-
build issues I was having using the old toolchain (like broken awk, some
libc brokenness that caused the ftp progress bar to display nonsense, ...).
