To complement Dmitry's answer, the point is that you need to distinguish th=
e platform the compiler is able to run on, and where its output is able to =
run on. The output can be a binary machine code object file, or something w=
ith machine code and digested specification in it, or an assembler text fil=
e, and the target machine is not necessarily the one hosting the compiler.
Presently HAC is /only/ cross-compiling (to a virtual machine).
