That looks OK too. >> If it does need to be done in the includes phase, for example, because >> a host version of ucs2any is needed to do the conversion when >> cross-compliling, but a target version of ucs2any needs to get built >> later for installation, then I'd just remove $(UCS2ANY) as a dependency >> in MakeBdfFontFromUCSMaster().

They're for anyone who has the answers :-). We do currently install ucs2any, so when cross compliling that would mean having a host version to process the fonts and a target version to install. I was wondering how we deal with the same issue with imake (and other utilities that get used at build-time) in case it affects the way to deal with the current usc2any getting called twice issue.
