I think the key phrase for me is "cross-compilation assumes you are
targetting an embedded system". I did not realize this when I started
with my build environment but have noticed this philosophy in other
sections of code (e.g. libstdc++-v3).
Thanks very much for the information though! I have managed to cross
compile our c/c++ stuff from linux to sun, but the java was proving
trickier. Now I know it's not just me ;o)
