It shouldn't be that big a deal. A while back I built gcc-2.7.2
and binutils-2.7 on my Sparc and successfully compiled a Sun 3
kernel with them, which booted ok.

Having a cross-compiler set up would probably be a really, really
big boon for anyone working on a VAX. My PPro150 can compile the
world and a kernel in well under three hours. My uVAX 2000 would
probably take more like 3 days. :-)
