Gosh, I've never been called that before.

You can either set it in your shell; for bash, it would be
        export CROSS=1
for csh, it would be
        setenv CROSS 1

or else, you can specify it right on the make command line:
        cd vsta/src/os/make
        make CROSS=1 vsta

It doesn't matter what value you give it so long as it's defined.

One thing I forgot to mention is that you absolutely need GNU make
after applying my patch. On a Linux system, GNU make is the default
make anyway, so you're all set, but when you go back to your VSTa
system, you'll need to invoke make as "gmake".
