Oh, status report. The new laptop build aboriginal for all targets and  
built LFS under all those targets except sparc, which broke in the  
"bison" build due to yet more posix_spawn() confusion that seems to  
only hit sparc? Weeeeird. Not quite sure what's up there, but not  
hugely bothered by it either since sparc's new and not as tested as the  
others.

Well, and these targets don't really work either:

   m68k: still no emulator to run it.
   sh4: still only 64 megs on the board.
   armeb: still unfinished.
   alpha: half-implemented.
   mips64: I'm using the old API which seems to have bit rotted, need  
to redo.

But arm, power, mips, and x86 all built. So releasing with linux for  
workgroups should be fine when it comes out.
