Gcc can be configured as a cross-compiler, but the gcc compiler
makes several assumptions that may or may-not be valid
about its "host" environment.... making it what I would
call a "mostly" cross-compiler.
Most notably - floating point arithmetic; which don't matter
to many applications.
We've gone to great lengths to ensure the Systems/C and Systems/C++
compilers generate exactly the same code on every platform.
