I need to develop software for PCs running MS-DOS (and Windows 3.1).  The
only machine I have continuous access to is a Sun SPARC 10 (i.e. the one on
my desk).

It looks like gcc has support for building a cross compiler that would allow
me to develop PC software from my Sun.  However, I can't find any references
for building a cross compiler for DOS or even that it can be (has been) done.

Does anyone know of any information that would help me out?

Thanks in advance...
