Greetings

I am currently evaluating c compilers for various microcontrollers
(8051, 78k and 6805 derivatives [so far]), and I am amazed at the
amount of garbage that people are selling for considerable sums.

I was thinking it would be nice to use DJGPP as a cross compiler
for any of these target families (since gcc can generate code for
many different platforms).  I would like to know:
   1) Is this possible
   2) If so, how do I do it
   3) Do I need anything else to do it
   4) Can I legally use the resulting binary in a commercial product?
   5) Is this a good idea?

Thanx
