What are the major differences? Crosscompiling vs. Crossbuild?
Better yet, where can I learn about those difference?

So the native build of zic barfs. I'm not even sure if zic runs when
you compile glibc by hand? Hrm... zic.c is 52,000 loc.. eww.

Question:
In theory since those patches are changes that haven't been merged upstream,
should the only requirements be:

- Have 2.2.4 Original
- Carry out any one of the dpatch's since they are dif'd against 2.2.4 Original
- Then carry out the 2.2.4-1 patch

For x86 Cross Compiler, the only requirement would be:
- Apply the dpatch's that are critical to the running hppa port

Quesiton:
If the pool has the hppa changes commented out in the 0list file, does
that mean that glibc2.2.4 is not available for hppa yet? (Since it fails to 
compile? The first error probably being the Elf32_Addr* problem with
that '& 3' fixed by a cast to (unsigned int)).

Why would that be in the hppa dpatch?

Cheers,
