I haven't heard much about gcc2, but I thought I heard that it will have
better support for cross compilation.  Although I use djgpp occasionally,
my main work deals with embedded systems (currently with a 68030).  Just
for grins, I tried compiling a version of djgpp for the 68k a while back.
Gas ported easily and appeared to work rather well, but cc1 and the rest
needed a *lot* more work than I was willing to spend at the time.  So ...
my question is how hard will it be using djgpp2 to create a version that
runs under DOS but generates 68k executables?
