Glad that it works!

As I write on
<http://www.bddebian.com/~wiki/hurd/building/cross-compiling/>: ``The
sources are rooted in `binutils-2_18-branch/src/'.''  I don't describe to
move them someplace else, so that one is easily able to update the
checkout of the `binutils-2_18-branch'.  Later I write: ``Create a
directory where the cross build shall be rooted in and a `src'
subdirectory in there.  Then create symbolic links for every of the above
packages: from `src/PACKAGE' to where you stored or unpacked it.''  I'll
think about a way to make this better understandable.

Might be.  I don't really pay attention to such things.
