--builduserspace? Shouldn't this be --builduserland?  Your webpage also
says builduserspace as oppose to userland.  All the same, I've found
your scripts immensely useful.  I would have never been able to migrate
from gcc 2.95 to 3.3.1 without them.  Thanks.
Hopefully, with the inclusion of ptxdist I'll be able to figure out how
to get openssh crosscompiled.  I think I've been 90% there following
instructions from Karim's book but maybe now I'll figure out the last
10%  (btw its otherwise a great book).  Why do I need openssh?  So that
I stand a fighting chance of crosscompiling perl.
Why Perl?  So that autoconf/automake works on my target and I can
finally be rid of circular dependencies that seem to be plaguing me at
the moment.

Feel free to keep up the good work,

Al

P.S.  I apologise for the annoying disclaimer that follows.  I'm a nice
