So I've managed to make my I2 get far enough that I want to try and get 
at least a minimal userland so I can try an NFS boot.  However, as Soren
pointed out a while ago, the pkgsrc cross-tools seem to not be very good
at making a userland.

My particular build builds all the libraries, but dies as soon as it 
tries to build a binary that uses the libraries with an (seemingly)
infinite number of underfined symbols (shared libararies don't seem
to build at all, but that's a "learn to crawl before you walk" thing).

Anyone out there done this before and have hints?  If not, I'll go 
and start digging in the toolchain.

Thanks!
