  I cross build for sparc and sparc64 on alpha.

 My general setup is that i compile everything on my alpha (DS10) because
it's the fastest machine i have.  I know i've sucessfully built NetBSD-2,
and NetBSD-3 on alpha for SPARC.  I can't remember if i was cross
compiling NetBSD 1.5 or 1.6 for sparc.  I think i probably did, but that
was a long time ago. :)

 I know i've also succesfully compiled NetBSD-current and NetBSD-3 for
sparc64 on alpha.

 I hope i'm understanding your question correctly.

The command i'm running (on the alpha) looks like this:

cd /usr/src
./build.sh -o -m sparc -x -U -u -T /local/NetBSD/tools sets
