 The prerequisities for a 'compiler', as it is normally thought to be,
are the 'system headers and libraries' --- i.e. the stuff normally in
'/usr/include' and in '/lib' and '/usr/lib'.  If these are included
with the 'Clix', or available freely, there may be not much problems.
If they aren't, the situation may look out quite desperate...

 If the headers&libs are available, building a cross-compiler first
under some other system can be quite possible...  But selecting the
DOS-like Win95 for this 'other system' is one of the worst...  A WinNT
with the Cygwin Unix-tools can serve somehow, but the best is some
other Unix or Unix-like system, e.g. Linux, FreeBSD etc...
