Well, yes. That's what it's for. It was never meant for cross- upgrades. You can fool it by setting the correct UNAME_* envars, though, if you know what you're doing, but that's not how it's intended to be used. > This cross-worlding is a total mess! > Nothing works. Nothing that you've tried works because everything you tried was wrong. You can't just make something up and expect it to work because you want it to work. Read the documentation and use the proper tool for the proper job.
