Hello Jim, I received your email and it concerns cross compiling. I believe if you look at embedded computers this may help. The reason that I say this is , I read a book on embedded computing and this was what they were talking about. They talk about cross compiling from x86 to different types of computers. Hope this helps. If you need the book, I can email you the name of the book. Sincerely Joerg.
