RE: Cross-compiling

[Kevin Wolfskill <kevin.wolfskill@jadesolutions.com>]

As I remember, didn't the Commodore have a 6510 processor which was a
slightly enhanced 6502?  I also remember something about Commodore having
bought Mostek (the originators of the 6502) at one time also?

Ah, those were the days...  When Jack Tramiel (spelling???) the head of
Commodore, almost drove Atari out of business in the Atari 800 vs. Commodore
64 wars (Atari was technically better, but Commodore had better marketing).
Then Tramiel leaves Commodore, buys Atari Computers from Time/Warner, only
to have to go head to head against Amiga which was started by some ex-Atari
guys...

Sorry to be OT, when you get to my age you start getting nostalgic :-)

Thanks a lot for the help! I'm downloading it now, but I will only be
using the ix86 architecture for now, I will consider other processors,
but the only other processor I own is a 6502 based Commodore 64. Maybe
I'll even port to this later :-)).

Ciao,

Lionel
