Yeah, I built a working crosscompiler some years back that would build
NetBSD-vax executables under Solaris 2.51 It took a LOT of work, but it
can be done. If my memory is correct, one of the problems I got was the
same as yours. You'll have to get the crosscompiler look for headers and
libraries in completely different places than where the system expects
them to be. PS. I'm glad to see that you've put that 4000 m60 to work.;-)
