I've been meaning to post details about this stuff, but I've been on
the road for ~ 2.5 weeks and I haven't yet had time to post a heads
up.
That said, if you want a build of xsrc/xfree/xc using the build.sh
created (cross) build tools, you can use
$TOOLDIR/bin/nbmake-$MACHINE build
in that directory. This will build a fairly complete XFree86 4.3
release EXCEPT for the Xserver (which hasn't been finished yet).
