Partially true.

I think the real problem is generating object files in the correct
format. This is not as big a problem for us.

I've just got access to a decstation, and I'm trying to find
out how much is missing before a crosscompilation enviroment is
a reality.
So far I've build a C compiler running on a HP snake generating
Mips assembler. My hope is to be able to make all tools for
a mips simulation enviroment availble on Linux.
