Also, I'd be very interested to know if all the quirks we're going to
make cross-compilation work effectively on x86, and especially x86->x86,
such as ebnsuring the host devel files do not interfere, are still
working OK on anything else than an x86 as build host.

If at least for that reason, having someone do real-life tests on a
non-x86 build host is very nice, since we can discover bugs that do not
occur on an x86 build host.

I know you, Peter, are running a PPC autobuilder, but that's not really
the same as actually using a PPC machien as a devel machine in a real
project.

Yann E. MORIN.
