Greetings all.

I have succesfully compiled a cross-compiler for my DC under linux at home.
It's not that difficult to compile a cross-compiler but it can be a bit
daunting if you've never done anything like that before.  The GCC manual
although lengthy is pretty good for working out the nitpicky details if you
ever run into any trouble doing this.  Now that I say this, there are
hundreds of howto's across the web that don't require any thinking...

(I also use a crosscompiler for my Lego RCX unit (Hitachi H8/300L) under
linux, with the help of legOS.  Long live GCC.)

	You should be able to crosscompile under linux - hopefully
	someone on the list has some info. There is some merit in moving
	a PC across to NetBSD both to make things easier compiling for
	the Dreamcast, plus to give exactly the same environment on
	the PC as Dreamcast.
