	I have been having trouble locating a cross compiler to generate
standalone (ROMable) 68k code that runs on the ibm pc. We are doing work
that requires such a compiler and I do not have access currently to a 68k
machine. I have only the board that the code is targeted for. We have had
trouble with the unix loader on the SUNs we have used in the past that was
solved by modifying the loader, so code for a standalone board isn't always
thought of even in the native compiler world. However; this is a moot point,
I need to generate code at a location which has no SUNs, I have only an
ibm pc. 
	Can anyone help me? I really do not want to have to decide amongst
the contenders for the 68k personal computer market right now. Nor do I 
know if I think there won't be any problems even with most native mode
compilers that run on any of these (MAC, ATARI ST, AMIGA) when used to
write standalone code. Alternatively, I could use feedback from anyone who
has used any of these machines for such a purpose and their compiler-loader
experiences. Please respond by mail and thanks in advance
