Yep. I am currently patching cross-install and producing a new tar file. Expect more tomorrow (as I have just finished most of the work, the other changes you mailed me will have to wait a few days). > Either LANG=C (or LC_ALL=C) is added to cross-install, or else it should > not consider unusual messages as a fatal error.

I should probably swap the order of messages here. Thanks, Marcus
