crosscompiler tool chain from i386-linux to powerpc-apple and others

[Bill Gatliff]

Ricardo:


Check out Dan Kegel's crosstool script.  Search the archives.

I don't know that he supports your targets directly, but he's the 
closest I've seen and I bet that since you have access to those 
machines, the two of you could work something out.

/me ducks after volunteering Dan for more scripting...


b.g.
