I have temporary access to a Sparc which has the C compiler that comes
with it.   I have more permanent access to a PS/2 running AIX with *NO*
compiler (or linker or assembler, as far as I know).
 
Is it possible to compile GCC on the Sun so that the compiler will run on
the PS/2 and generate code for the PS/2?   If so, do I specify AIX as both
the host and the target?   
 
What do I do for a linker?   Do I need the binutils?   Do I need an
assembler (e.g. GAS) and why?
 
Sorry for all the simple Q's, but I'm new to Unix.   Thanks for any help.
