Greets, all...

Please excuse this extremely novice gcc question...

A friend of mine just purchased an AT&T 3b1.  He received it on Monday
and we have been setting up dial-in/out stuff for the last couple of days.

Problem is, his 3b1 only has a 20meg HD right now, with hardly enough
room to turn around in, let alone load a development environment...
Until he gets a larger hard drive, we are stuck...unless...

(Note:  the novice question appears below... :)

Is it possible to compile code with gcc (and the -S option) to assembler
level on another machine, download it to the 3b1, and finish the
compilation with gas (which we might just be able to load, and we
already have on 3b1 disks...) ?

I've never tried this, and would appreciate advice and comments from
more experienced GNUrus...  If you feel like talking about it, I'd
love to hear about any and all contortionist cross-developments!

(I don't suppose anyone has worked out a method of developing for
 the Apple // or XT-class with gcc?  :-)
