Re: NetBSD cross compile from Win32?

 Good Day,

Searching through the archives of this list (January 30,2001) I came 
across the message below. Further reading showed promising responces to 
Andrew Gillham's post. I too am interested in building a cross compile 
environment for NetBSD/i386 on Windows/FreeBSD/Linux/etc... I'm curious 
if anyone has proceded with further development. If not are there any 
new thoughts on this subject? Maybe some articles or interesting reading 
is now available that someone could point me too? Any new information 
about this topic would be appreciated.

Thanks for your time,
