3Special notes for cross-hosting a NetBSD build on certain platforms.  
4Only those platforms which have been tested to complete a "build.sh" run
5are listed.

7=====
8
9LINUX:
10
11* Tested on RedHat Linux 7.1 (i386).
12  Tested on RedHat Linux 7.3 (i686) on 16 Sep 2002.  Requires "LANG=C"
13  in the environment.
14
15* The gcc (and libstdc++, if needed) package must be installed, along
16  with the typical system development packages (glibc-devel, etc.).
17
18* The ncurses-devel package must be installed (for nbinfo).
19
20* The zlib and zlib-devel packages must be installed.  This will be
21  fixed in the future to include zlib in libnbcompat.
22
23=====
24
25NETBSD (earlier releases):
26
27* Tested on NetBSD 1.5.2 (machine-independently).
28
29* Should need no special setup.
30
31=====
32
33SOLARIS:
34
35* Tested on Solaris/x86 8 (5.8) with gcc 2.95.2 and Solaris/sparc 8 (5.8)
36  with gcc 3.2 (not yet tested with SUNWspro).
37
38* $HOST_CC needs to be set properly (for gcc, it should be set to "gcc",
39  otherwise the improper /usr/ucb/cc may be invoked by accident).
40
41* The SUNWzlib package (or a built version of zlib visible to $HOST_CC,
42  such as SMCzlib from sunfreeware.com) must be installed.  This will be
43  fixed in the future to include zlib in libnbcompat.
44
45* Needs the following paths, in this order, in $PATH:
46
47      /usr/xpg4/bin
48      /usr/ccs/bin
49      <path to host C and C++ compilers>
50      /usr/bin
51
52  /usr/ucb may optionally be placed before /usr/bin, per your preference,
53  but /usr/ucb *MUST NOT* be before /usr/ccs/bin or before the path to
54  the host C and C++ compilers.
