Another possibility is to use a product called SoftPC from a company of
the same name (I think).  SoftPC is a IBM XT emulator that runs on
various 68000 based machines.  I have seen ads for MacIntosh and Sun
hosted systems.  With it, you could use cross compilers or PC compilers
running under SoftPC and then test the program on SoftPC.  I am sure
that there are some restrictions in the emulation capabilities.
