Does the OOo source tree have a full set of platforms, like Kaffe? Would we be able to configure and cross-build on an A1 running PPC Linux, producing a build for AOS4?
Regarding the Linux-hosted cross compiler, we can provide them. We currently have builds for Linux (x86 and PPC) and Windows/cygwin.
I'd say that's the easiest way until we fully understand the build process. I think ixemul and some sort of sh will be available later, so it might be easier to use the same built tools on AOS4 later (I do not say, utiliye ixemul in the code, but for the tools only).
This is a real problem. Currently one has to maintain 2 makefiles, one for a (sh compatible) cross-target, and one for the native Amiga shell.
I fast x86 can accelerate the built process (unless we have dual G5 power), so cross compilers should be supported (cygwin might have some flaws, especially if we have to port some tools over, linux might run out of the box).
