I managed to kludge through a cross-build from Mac OS X 10.3 a couple 
weeks ago by shifting some files & tweaking Makefiles during the build. 
  Unfortunately I didn't note down the steps, but they involved (at 
least) the following changes:

src/tools/sgivol fbogsany$ cvs diff Makefile
Index: Makefile
===================================================================
RCS file: /cvsroot/src/tools/sgivol/Makefile,v

The last part of this is definitely a hack, but I installed the result 
on a couple of Indys without any problems.
