`make everything' traditionally runs in the cross environment,
if it has been made available by running cross-tools:

everything:
        _at_echo
        _at_echo "--------------------------------------------------------------"
        _at_echo ">>> stage 4: building everything.."
        _at_echo "--------------------------------------------------------------"
        cd ${.CURDIR}; ${WMAKE} par-all
                         ^^^^^

In fact, it's exactly what corresponds to the "all" stage of
buildworld.
