It's not, but automated testing for *any* cross is nearly impossible
without some manual intervention.  That's why we have special cases
for newlib, cygwin, vxworks, and djgpp - those are common cases that
we can't otherwise autodetect enough about.

Yup, and you have to build just the compiler portions of gcc, then
build djlsr, then go back and build the library portions of gcc.  The
djcrx package helps you bootstrap a sys-root.
