Dr. Tanenbaum  discusses cross-compiling in one of the appendices to his book

He discusses problems with libraries and indicates that the software that

comes with MINIX provides a utility to help with conversion. It does not appear

that MINIX uses "standard" a.out file formats but I am not sure.
