The GNU config.* haven't heard of verix. You can build OS-neutral cross compilers which just target a specific object format, e.g. m68k-elf or m68k-coff; probably your best bet would be to find out which object format verix uses and then build a cross-toolchain to target that. If you have system headers and C libraries for verix then you should configure --without-newlib and drop those into the build. If you don't have system headers and libraries then you can use newlib instead but you might have difficulty interacting with the system. Good luck, Rup.
