Maybe a good place to get clues is to look at how GCC and binutils are
built for DOS, e.g. DJGPP. (I've asked DJ for some help). Starting
with the config stuff for DJGPP will probably help me along. DOS is a
similar job to Minix in that it has less facilities than systems like
full-blown Unixen.
I will try to have fun, after all the blood and sweat parts anyway. :)
I'm really eager to learn how all this GCC magic works.
