What's LIBC= for?

It looks like you added install targets for xdev, does this mean we can 
build cross compilers and install them w/o having to run them from the 
top level src makefile targets?

It would be great if there were something to simplify the means of 
building cross toolchains similar to Gentoo's crossdev.

There are many devices out there which FreeBSD could potentially run on 
-- however the vendors ship them with Linux, and being able to get e.g. 
cross builds of mtd-utils to run on them would be very helpful for 
opening them up.

cheers
