Hmm, how about if I wanted to make a port of binutils, gcc, and
GNAT for a VxWorks cross-compiler system?  You need the VxWorks
header files which you only get when you buy VxWorks for $15K.
This port couldn't be (legally) tested by a committer, except
for perhaps binutils which doesn't need the target header files.
