            Bug ID: 227993
           Summary: Possible miss-use of cross term
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: kan@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: kennethsalerno@yahoo.com
             Flags: maintainer-feedback?(kan@FreeBSD.org)
          Assignee: kan@FreeBSD.org

I believe this port is really an external compiler definition, not really a
cross-compiler in the sense that devel/powerpc64-gcc is that targets a spec=
ific
arch.

Please see the following bugs to illustrate my point that "x" in "xtoolchai=
n"
refers to "external" (external to world) not "cross" necessarily:
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D227920
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D227918

I would propose the pkg-descr be changed to state this is an external compi=
ler
definition for building FreeBSD base.
