Thanks for your detailed answer Uwe.

Since there aren't chances for crosscompilation pkgsrc on faster
machines I again think about making ftp with binary packages collected
from others hpcsh users. I allready made some programs on my Jornada I
could share. So my idea is that we could:

- make one standard for compiling pkgsrc (pkgsrc branch, os version, flags etc.)
- find one stable ftp place for sharing packages 
- make one or more persons responsible for maintaing this place 
- make plans of sharing compilations to avoid unnecessary heating of jornadas :D

Anyone have some comments, others ideas or have some MB on a good
stable ftp server ?
