Use a Linux compiler or give up ?

Hi;

I was surprised by an error that implies that toolchains can only be
built on Linux; has anyone else seen this?

====
/opt/crosstool/gcc-3.4.5-glibc-2.3.6/mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu/mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu/include/asm/sgidefs.h:18:2:
error: #error Use a Linux compiler or give up.

...

/*
* Using a Linux compiler for building Linux seems logic but not to
* everybody.
*/
#ifndef __linux__
#error Use a Linux compiler or give up.
#endif


I'm building on a Mac, I've got a quick patch inplace to cheat the
MacOSX as/ld version issues.  Is it unrealistic to think of
cross-compiling on Mac?
