This is great news! So in other words, a -stable build on a -current machine is not necessarly some dare-devil crazy thing to do, and should be perfecly workable, right? If that is so, I'm switching. I've been waiting way too long on -stable.. If I can help debugging the crossbuild in the way, it'll make things only better, I guess. :) Thanks, A.
