In the last months many more packages received the CROSS mark and
in addition I coded a tiny script that empirically tries to cross build
packages where all [DEPS] already cross build. Aside some hundred
packages that were found to just cross build in T2, now - I also fixed
some dozen of trivial cross build errors on-the-way.

We now got to a total of 700 packages known to cross compile with
the T2 SDE:

  t2-trunk# grep '^\[F\] .*CROSS' package/*/*/*.desc | wc -l
  700

Have a nice sunday - yours,
