Does anyone know how feasible it would be to use gcc to
cross compile for the Sun Sparc series?  We have two
or three workstations that I would like to convert to
386BSD and use to cross develop Sun X applications.

I would assume that as long as you had access to the
Sun libraries and includes it should be no problem.

Maybe you could do the compiles and only run the sun
linker to do final binding.

There may be object module or link time problems it
seems.  

Any ideas?

I will post the results.

Thanks in advance,
