In that case, I might've misattributed the commit. In any case, I've now heard several things about the Pike crosscompilation:
* System Pike will be used * System Pike will be used, but newly installed Pike for post_modules * ...what you just said
and then of course, experienced Pike to just use the system Pike (and precompile.pike). We're a little lost here, but without changes to precompile.pike our project doesn't make sense (tree code is used multiple times and at multiple levels, for example the trees exported to Pike use a block allocator itself using trees again to manage the memory. Without source code reuse, it would blow up and become an unmaintainable mess. :) ).
