Ok, I see. But that has probably been a bit easier than going from x86 (or
SPARC) to PowerPC, since it is the same architecture at least. I'm not
sure how well sgs deals with cross-linking, given that the OpenSolaris Dev
Guide (and README) prominently state that cross-building O/N isn't
supported and not expected to work in the forseeable future. This may well
be different for an initial bringup and the limited case of the linker,
though.
Thanks.
