Since the C programming language is built upon a virtual machine
concept, and the sources for the tools are all written in C, AFAIK,
then what is the problem. Any machine which supports the necessary
constructs should be able to emit the code necessary. One should be
able to build for the PC using a MAC, ISTM.

What is the issue? Does the GCC have special "hooks" into the
kernel or sth like that?
