Hm... Okay. I was just about to try to take my new SS10 from 1.3.3 to 1.4C.
Should I take this as an indication that I shouldn't do this at present? I
was initially going to go to 1.4, but then I noticed that SPARC-current has
moved to ELF, so I figured I'd skip the interim step.

What would be suggested at the moment? Is there any way I can maybe cross-
compile from my i386 to SPARC to make my own snapshot? I see nothing in
pkgsrc that seems appropriate, if my understanding that stuff like the
sparc-netbsdelf package is meant for sparc-aout systems...

Thanks in advance for clues.
