Erm, no. That's a cross-compiler, isn't it? Any given output isn't portable (it will run only on one OS), but it can just target multiple backends. And when you say Linux, I assume you mean Linux on i386 only. (Which limits its utility compared to gcc, and means we can't use it to build any Debian packages). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
