  Its not that complicate to generate a cross-compiler running under linux
  and compiling for AmigaDOS. Only to have the compiler is not enough. You
  also need a cross-assembler and -linker. To get the assembler is possible
  but the linker is a problem. The currently used ld on the amiga has some
  problems with the byte order thus its not useable on a i80x86...
