Well, actually, I would suppose the project would be MUCH easier if
you used gcc to compile itself, and made changes to it to generate
os9 stuff.  Then, use the native one on your unix machine to compile
the changed one and you have yourself a cross-compiler.  Now, compile
yourself one more time -- ta-da! a os9 gcc.  I think.

Would that not be MUCH easier than any fooling around with Microware C?
