cross compile help needed

I am trying to find how to cross compile packages for my
MobilePro 
800(Mips Vr4121). I have NetBSD BETA 4.0(i386) installed on
a VMWARE 
machine. I have pkgsrc in /usr/pkgsrc. On the H/PC I have
NetBSD BETA 
4.0(hpcmips) with pkgsrc in /usr/pkgsrc. I tried to compile
kismet on 
the H/PC but it is really slow. After running for about
36hrs it 
started failing because an autoconf or automake error. I
want to 
cross-compile to avoid smashing the handheld with a sledge
hammer. I 
have looked at tons of info on the net but cannot find
anything 
current.

I don't need to compile the kernel just packages. I want to
put 
icewm,kismet,web browser(any). I need to know if anyone can
point me 
to a tutorial or tell me how to set this up. I am really
young when 
it comes to linux and younger in NetBSD. I can move around,
wrestle 
with vi and read man pages.

Thanks for any help.

what I did:
serve pkgsrc tree via nfs from my intel server - not
neccessary.
have compiler, make etc. on the mipsel machine,
install distcc from pkgsrc on the mipsel machine,
install distccd on the intel machine, have it point inside
the tools
dir you have from the kernel compile, no vmware instance
neccessary,
use the distcc switches in the pkgsrc on the mipsle machine
each and
every time you compile a pkgsrc package.

Pro:
- configure etc. get to see the real thing,
- actual compile load goes to the intel box
- most packages allow for parrallel compile
Con:
- configure etc. still run on the mipsel machine, so kinda
slow.

Can't remember where the pkgsrc switches for using distcc
are
described, somewhere within the pkgsrc tree.
