Now that Metrowerks has discontinued their x86 cross-compiler, I am
left with wondering if there is another Mac-hosted x86 cross-compiler?
(I know that gcc is available on x86, but it is not Mac-hosted.)  I am
also guessing that Symbian (the new owners of the Metrowerks x86 tools)
has no interest in continuing to sell the Mac-hosted version of these
tools.  (Makes you wonder why Metrowerks couldn't have made the
agreement to continue to sell Mac versions.)

In particular, I have written a number of small utilities that I have
cross-compiled for both Mac and Windows, but I prefer to do my
development on the Mac side, saving the Windows side for debugging.
Most start off as command-line utilities, often ending up as
DLL's/Shared Libraries with a RealBasic GUI on top of it.  CodeWarrior
9.4 was perfect for just that, but that solution no longer exists, so I
am looking for the best approximation to that.
