Right. I've worked on FreeBSD systems in the past and that's what sort of
got me thinking about this... I've talked with a good friend who's a Mac
guru and he thinks it's very possible.
I'm also interested in building a cross-compiler tool chain on using gcc,
(which is also used on OS X), and seeing what happens. I'm not sure how
much low level (assembler) coding may has been done (if any), but what
the hey, it'll be a learning experience!
Hmm, about that Mac.... Sorry. I'll be coding on a LINUX box at home and
remote testing the code on my friends Mac across the 'net.
