Because XFree86-1.3 doesn't fully work with NetBSD-current (namely because
of the new db code) I am trying to build the whole XFree86-1.3 distribution
from scratch on a Sparc Server 670.  The problem is, is that I need to
find a cross linker and cross ar and ranlib that will link for NetBSD on a
sun.  I looked on prep.ai.mit.edu for gld or something similar but could
not find it.  Yes I did try archie and found three sites.. none of them
had what I needed.  Is the linker called something else?  Also how 
do I create the need libgcc1.a?  Any help would be greatly appreciated..
