"You can build a cross-compiler on your OS/2 box if you wish, but this
takes a large amount of disk/time resources and a fair amount of
knowledge. If you've never done it, it will eat up much more of your
time than getting a compiler on the SPARC will."

I want to emphasize that building cross-compilers on OS/2 is
especially difficult, since OS/2 does not work with the regular
gcc makefiles. Undoubtedly if you know what you are doing you can
get these makefiles etc to work, but the standard EMX distribution
is not intended for building cross compilers (for one thing it
routinely deletes all foreign architecture configuration files).
