Hi
We have a Sun SparcStation LX running SunOS 5.2, without *any*
compiler (through oversight/ mis-management I don't know)
We also have an SGI Indy which does have a compiler. Can we
create a cross-compiler on the SGI to then compile gcc for the
Sun? If so, what would the exact steps be? 
This seems long-winded, and may be doomed to failure, as
libgcc.a looms large on the horizon.
Any experts out there want to take a crack at this one, or is
it a Catch-22 situation?

Thanks in advance,

Chris Gatenby
