anybody done this before?

[blumpkin blownuts]

anyway looks like jon and marks are p much right, i was thinking more of assemblers explicitly rather than compilers or OS (and boot modules, interrupt controller, MMU's and other small exceptions)

at today's tool sizes and speeds pretty much any HLL will cross-compile for any modern-day instruction set (with few notable exceptions), but i'm still holding out that your compilers are only as capable as your assembler, and your assembler is only as capable as the machinery it operates on

cant lie that im unimpressed about your bluefin work though. I hadnt even heard of it until now, but it looks like it has more native memory-mappings than my desktop CPU, NB and SB do combined
