Ok.

Silly question - is it actually possible to build contrib/binutils
(including TARGET=amd64) without building the whole tree? Trying
the obvious:

  cd /usr/obj
  /usr/src/contrib/binutils/configure \
    --target=x86_64-pc-freebsd7.2     \
    --host=i386-pc-freebsd7.2         \
    --build=i386-pc-freebsd7.2        \
    --prefix=/cross/x86_64

.. Didn't work (didn't really expect it to).
