What you say may be true, but there are some philosophical issues with cross
development vs. native mode.  Contemplate the effect on the state of Amiga CLI,
Utilities and Development tools if Amiga had switched to native mode development
somewere along the line...

Of course much of the code was written before there was an operating system or
a fully functional chip set.  The Sun setup also contains a hardware device to
control and download to an amiga.
