Hello alan, ...

if you are on the fun side of things, ... i longly thought that since the
ppc-gcc stuff compiled elf binaries, contrary to the warpup stuff, it would be
possible to compile an kenrel by the ppc compiler under amigaos. I think the
steps needed for it would be to look at the CROSS variable in the Makefiles,
and to add there the name of the gcc-ppc compiler, you would have to look
around, i don't remeber about it exactly. And then this kernel _should_ be ok
to run. Jesper don't believe in it thought, and from his expereince long time
ago, it is very slow and memory hungry, ... It can be done though, since
Jesper compiled the first apus kernel under amigaos (myself cross compiled
under linux from m68k (that is 68040/25MHz) to ppc only, in the times of apus
not working for blizzard board).
