I don't know what __ELF__ does, is that the unix part of the code?
Then you don't need that for OSKit-Mach, read
http://www.etherhogz.org/doc/oskit-mach.html.

You don't have to cross-compile the OSKit or OSKit-Mach. 
Kevin, could you add that to your doc?

My impression is that OSKit development is a bit stalled at the

correctly.

Also try to quote correctly next time.
http://www.greenend.org.uk/rjk/2000/06/14/quoting is a nice document
to learn it for example, it certainly makes reading mails easier.
