Next question: is it possible to cross-develop with gcc and g++
on sparc-sun-sunos4 for powerpc-* (or whatever the format is
called in BFD which Motorola uses with its compilers for PowerPC [
actually objdump(1) says aixcoff-rs6000])?

My problem is that Motorola uses its own archive format which isn't
understood by gmake(1) (so library members are ALWAYS rebuilt and not
only when needed).  To get around this problem I see two ways:

1. getting gmake(1) to work with this Motorola-ar(1) 
2. throwing this Motorola crap (that means ar(1) & ld(1)) away
   and replacing ld(1) and ar(1) with variants (e.g. GNU)
   which work together with gmake(1) and are usable with
   powerpc-*.

Any hints?
