Hi all,

the the thread about cross compile awareness I like to keep you up to date
with the latest achivements.

We now got 1185 out of the 2938 packages to cross compile, that is
40.33% !!!

This includes more parts of GNOME, and nearly all packages of GPE as well
as XFCE. Of course including the newly added Qtopia base and WebKit and
a whole lot of libraries, servers and console stuff along the lines.

While we are working on expanding the percentage of packages that just
cross compile in T2, we'll next let a big number cruncher cross compile
binary package feeds for all T2 supported architectures and C-library
combinations.

Have fun,
  René
