To tell you the truth, some bits produced by cross-compiles on different architectures are not ready for use on a native architecture. This includes binary files such as fortune(6) .dat files, NLS catalogs, etc. I haven't identified them all yet. Once I get my "modern" Alpha box, I will start working on a project that will eventually address this, so cross- builds and releases will produce the same binary files as on native platforms. NetBSD achieved a great success in this direction, so it shouldn't be too hard to fix.
