- Well, do you want a C compiler on the 48, or a cross compiler? The gnu
- compiler could probably be reconfigured to work as a cross compiler. It
- has the bonus of giving very optimized code which is important to the
- limited 48 memory. If you wanted a compiler on the 48 you could always
- try to port Tiny-C.
