That's where our cross-build tools kick in :)

Checkout whole tree (cvs co basesrc), run (example for pmax, use appropriate
machine name) from top of checked out tree:

	./build.sh -T /somewhere/tools -t -m pmax

then config the kernel normally, but run

	/somewhere/tools/nbmake-pmax

rather than make in the kernel compile directory.

See also ./BUILDING on top of basesrc tree.
