So, we agree that it is wrong for the cross stuff to use host libraries when building tools that will run on the target? Marcel seemed to indicate that this was fine. I think that it is wrong. Will a note be added at least for 4.3 to note this for the naive novice user? Meanwhile, I'm building a non-PPro optimized set, and installing my 486 to current -STABLE.
