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.
