- As an experiment, I have configured and built the ADE (Amiga
- Developers Environment) toolset as a cross compiler that runs on Linux
- and generates PowerPC code in AmigaDOS hunk wrappers (I.E. AmigaDOS
- executables). Naturally, without an Amiga PowerPC board to try these
- on, there is no way to run them. Also, the object file format used is
- ELF, since the GNU binutils don't yet support switching the entire
- toolset to AmigaDOS hunk format, but we are very close. Of course ELF
- is a much nicer format than AmigaDOS hunk format, and I'd like to see
- the Power Amiga (if and when one ever exists) use an industry standard
- object and executable file format, but that is a topic for a different
- discussion.

- This weekend I should be posting detailed step-by-step instructions on
- the ade mailing list for how to build an Amiga m68k cross compiler on
- almost any Unix system. If I get time, I'll also try to build the
- PowerPC cross compiler again, and include those instructions as well.
