Yeah, yeah.  Basicly just build the binutils for vax, but somebody should
make a package for it, so others will not have to do it.  Having every
joe-shmoe making the cross-compiler seems like much duplication of work,
which is why there are so many ready-made packages available for
everything else.  Also, it helps the lazy and incompetent.
