I have created an account for you on it, just ssh to
buckner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx and take a look around.
daily haiku checkout available under /usr/haiku/haiku, and
the gcc crosscompiler-src is at /usr/haiku/buildtools.
Since the cross-compiler wants a haiku-dir to work in/from,
I made /usr/haiku/haiku-build also, making the cross-compiler
pick up stuff from there.
