            Bug ID: 227993
           Summary: Possible miss-use of cross term
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: kan at FreeBSD.org

I believe this port is really an external compiler definition, not really a
cross-compiler in the sense that devel/powerpc64-gcc is that targets a specific
arch.

Please see the following bugs to illustrate my point that "x" in "xtoolchain"
refers to "external" (external to world) not "cross" necessarily:

I would propose the pkg-descr be changed to state this is an external compiler
definition for building FreeBSD base.
