This is still not good for me.  I use the cross-addr2line tool all the
time, and objdump and other such tools.  I have many different sandboxes
with different arch builds of different freebsd versions, and each one
is a self-contained little development world that includes the cross
tools that are known to work with that source base.  I don't think
there's a single addr2line binary I can install that will work with
every object on the system.

If the time spent building these things is bothering people, maybe we
need a WITH_CROSS_BINUTILS knob or something?
