This isn't a bad assumption in my opinion, but anyways.

You didn't read my e-mail at all. I said that you would still build
a _native_ world first and install it, and _then_ do an additional
buildworld to do the cross-arch build. That was the simple part
since the entire patch (other than using TARGET in a few places) would
consist of a:
if (TARGET_ARCH != MACHINE_ARCH)
make buildworld
endif
or some such. 3 lines. :)
But anyways, no one else agrees with me so it doesn't matter.
