Yeah, and do cvs update often.  That will make it even more likely
that the patches will be consistent.  We try to only check in working
stuff, so it shouldn't be too much bother.

No worry.  There is no plan for those to go away.  I was speaking more
to my packaging process.  It's getting to be a real pain trying to
keep a working cross-gcc for all our platforms.

It seems to me like it might help.  Using whatever development
environment most other people use should be easiest, and that
certainly rules out cross-compilation.
