Must be "nice to have". Building Linux executables on an NT computer,
just what I need!

I'll test it. Briefly today, thorough tomorrow afternoon. I fear no pain!

Just a question:
Why do I need to copy the runtimes from the Linux machine? Is this
just for linking of the testprogram, or do I also need this libraries/
headers to build the binutils and gcc? Can't I also crosscompile the
glibc libraries?

Øystein
