Quite a strong correlation actually Art. Since you appear a bit confused allow me to spell it out for you. 1) At no point in time did I advocate no testing of the output binaries. Regardless of whether those binaries are produced via a native build or a cross build. Testing the binaries is a _good_ thing and should be done. The process of building the binaries really does not exercise much of the system. 2) I am not sure where the expectation that cross-built binaries will be chock full of bugs that are not there in a native build comes from. Even if you assume that this is correct then those bugs should just be treated like any other tool chain bug and fixed. Cross-building of BSD can be done, even foreign platform hosting of the build can be done. If the developers of OpenBSD choose not to do it, for what ever reasons they have, they are the ones that will suffer most from that decision - if they choose to live with that then that is plenty fine by me... I just find it sort of quaint. -- Brett Lymn
