It's not a question of getting a compiler, it's an issue of modifying sources
to support it - a few tiny ones to get the 68k gcc to compile 68k V (since
gcc changes are usually wrapped in #ifdef MORPHOS blocks) and a few
massive ones to be able to be compiled and linked on a completely different
platform.
I do not have a PPC. (If I did, I would not be using WarpUP)
I do have a PC. Why can't I use that? Because Amiga want us to use some
nasty hybrid OS that they're making (with frankly disgusting options for
development, which entail BUYING STORMC for the most part)
If anything came out of the PUP/WUP war, it's that H&P got exactly
what they wanted in that they now have Amiga wrapped around their
little finger, and pretty much exclusive control of the only development
platform.. and that's kinda sick.

No, it's that StormC sucks rotting donkey cock.
