- Yes to both questions.

-
- Most of the 2.0 headers will work - You'll have to use stdio.h that's
- compatible with gcc (like from ixemul library). The libraries won't work
- directly, but Markus has been kind enough to write the 'hunk2gcc' translater
- that will allow you to create GCC compatible libraries from the Amiga ones.

- Don't know about SAS, but I prefer it to Manx. Code is usually faster and
- smaller, though mainly the compiler is more robust.

-
- Seems pretty compatible to me. At least I haven't run into any problems.
- But then again, I'm used to writing for our brain dead non-ANSI Sun
- compilers at work.
