No, just to be able to compile ELF object files with DJGPP.

I plan to setup a cross-compiler in Linux sometime (just haven't been
bothered..it seems fiddly :) so that I can compile DJGPP binaries under
Linux. I suppose that it'd be easier to setup the cross-compiler in Linux to
compile DJGPP code *and* produce ELF binaries in one fell-swoop. Would I
be better off doing this ? Cheers,
