But I found no devel/cross-binutils, you had my hopes up. There is a cross/cross-binutils in (NetBSD) pkgsrc. DESCR shows The cross-binutils pkg is used only by the other `cross' pkgs. The binutils provides various binary manipulation utilities as well as the GNU linker. (The assembler is bundled with each individual cross pkg.) Tom
