I think the key phrase for me is "cross-compilation assumes you are 
targetting an embedded system". I did not realize this when I started 
with my build environment but have noticed this philosophy in other 
sections of code (e.g. libstdc++-v3).
Thanks very much for the information though! I have managed to cross 
compile our c/c++ stuff from linux to sun, but the java was proving 
trickier. Now I know it's not just me ;o)
