It depends... m68k-cbm-amigados-gcc generates a.out binaries, just like
m68k-linuxaout-gcc (m68k-cbm-amigados-ld takes care of creating AmigaOS `hunk'
executables. But that doesn't mean you can use m68k-linuxaout-gcc to compile
AmigaOS programs. Apparently they had to change gcc to allow for the A6
register to be used as the library base register for AmigaOS, while the plain
gcc insists on using A6 as the frame pointer (no, -no-frame-pointer didn't help
last time I tried).

A similar problem may exist with APUS.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
