GNU gcc and cross-compilation

[Brian Dean]

I have a Hauppauge 4860 motherboard which has both an i486 and an i860
CPU.  Hauppauge supplies software so that you may boot and run
programs on the i860 while running Unix on the i486.  However, I do
not have the spare $$ to buy a commercial i860 C compiler (last I
checked, prices were ~$2000).  Therefore, I would like to get GNU's
gcc to operate like a cross-compiler running on the i486 and generate
object files for the i860.

I have the sources for gcc 1.39 and have successfully compiled for the
i486 under Intel SVR4.  The documentation for cross-compilation is not
terribly clear and was wondering if anybody else has done this and/or
could give me some pointers.

Any help offered is greatly appreciated.  If you feel this topic is of
general interest, feel free to post; otherwise e-mail responses are
fine too.
