I just installed cygwin in my Windows XP inside of qemu. Ah, home away from home .. at home.

If I had a properly set up cross compile environment, that probably wouldn't have happened.

E.g. a way to run the compiled code once the build completes to make sure everything works. -- Infinite complexity begets infinite beauty.
