powerpc and RS6000 cross compilation

2001-10-09 Thread damsnet
Hi, I believed it is possible to compile a binary for both powerpc (in fact Mac performa 6400) and RS6000 (7248 43P, which is PReP). But I compiled a program under the Mac and I can't run it on the RS6000. Can I achieve that? What option(s) should I use for gcc?
