hmm, you say this has been discussed previously?  where?  i definately don't
recall anything of the sort being discussed on netbsd lists (and i've been
on them since 1993?), not that i couldn't have forgotten it.



while i do see this as extremely valuable for cross compiling, there are
already solutions that deal with this, eg, garbled/sommerfeld's (?) mega
cross compile script.  however, i'm skeptical for native builds.  mostly,
i'm very unsure how all this will work and would prefer that patches were
posted first before anything was commited, so that people can comment on
and review this work.  it seems fairly major -- but you're just saying
"this will happen this weekend" seemingly without allowing any outside
input....
