The toolchain on each host platform is built with identical steps, from the same source distro, targetting an embedded Xscale processor. The source code does not use any OS APIs, just some things in newlib (built as part of the toolchain). The resulting binary should, in theory, be identical, regardless of the host platform. -- Rick
