It seems to me that was where we got stuck, and the prevous package did 
not have something of any use to fix that, but I could be wrong.

It seems to me that Mark was able to build a newer (at least at that time) 
tcl package with a little work, but, again, it has been a while.  I think 
the tcl hurdle was crossed, but not the expect hurdle.

Right now, I'm building the Cross Compiler with 060 Multilib support (at 
least I believe I am) and then after that I plan on trying to rebuild libc 
for it with 060 support.  Where can I find a nice netbsd libm source 
package?  I just started to look at google and so far am just sitting at 
the netbsd cvs site, keep getting distracted by other items at work today. 
:)

Anyway, my thought it to do what I am doing now, get 060 libc and maybe 
libm, and the try to build a native build with it.  Maybe with 060 passed 
to Cflags and multilib disabled in configure.  I'm not sure yet.  The 
cross compiler just finished building.

I can give it a try, see if I can find some more time to build a debug 
version and see what GDB has to say about the crashing.
