That's one of the options available to us.  Drop one last release in the
6.x series, with updated toolchain to escape this issue.

The other option is to go ahead and get Ryan's cross-lfs prototype
integrated, and utilize that.

Personally, if it was my decision, I'd go with one last release in the 6.x
series in a month or two - Glibc 2.3.x, GCC 3.4.3, latest HJL binutils,
and other updates.  Otherwise, if we integrate cross-lfs now, that would
certainly warrant a major version bump to 7.0...then when Glibc 2.4.x and
GCC 4 roll around, that would warrant yet another major version bump.  By
doing an interim release in the 6.x tree, we can save all the major stuff
for one huge release of 7.0 in 5-6 months (roughly).

Just my 2 cents worth,
