Hi!

You cannot use this port to build toolchaing for compiling Linux and
NetBSD applications.  This port creates toolchain using the newlib
libc library, which is used by some embedded operating systems (e.g.
rtems, ecos).  It can also be used to build bare-metal standalone
applications.  Linux on the other hand is using glibc and NetBSD their
own libc implementation, so this toolchain would not work.
