I think I had similar problems last time I tried to cross-compile for 
sparc64. While we're on sparc64 subject, does anyone know why NetBSD 
doesn't support UltraSparc III and UltraSparc IV systems? Is it because 
those systems are too expensive for mortal users so nobody bothers to 
support them or because of some other reasons?
If I win the lottery which 64 bit system would I be better off with 
Alpha or UltarSparc? Well there is AMD's x86_64 but I guess it sucks 
compared to Alphas or UltraSparcs, I mean it's cursed x86 with 64 bit 
registers :-) can't be too much of an improvement can it?
