On a related note, has anyone ever been able to cross compile,
assemble and link from i386 to sparc???  I got the compiler to work,
but it appears that the gas and ld in the stock GNU binutils would not
generate proper object code or executables.  Should one have to use
the gas and ld in our tree??
