Chuck, 

Gee, the C compiler I am using for my Amiga is sooo bad - in fact it is made
by your company.  Seriously, the Sun C compiler produces good, correct
code for either 68000/68010/68020's.  All one has to do to use it is to
rewrite a few multiply/divide routines, and get/write a C library (Manx
commercial version comes with lib source, right?).  I have been doing
development using a system similar to this for several months now, and
am convinced that cross development is the _only_ way to go for serious
development.  If memory serves, I believe I read somewhere that Amiga
does their development using the (expensive) GreenHills compiler system
that also runs on a SUN.  Why suffer the slings and arrows of Manx, 
Lattice, etc if you have access to a Sun workstation??
