I will add something when I have time. I have a simple malloc and 
a main program that sends one byte to uart.

I have tried to avoid Windows since 1996 when I installed my 
first linux...
The best place to ask for a toolchain might be those who have 
made the native Windows toolchain. It should not be a big job to 
change it to a different target. If I had time, I might also look 
at it.

But this brings out an interesting question:
If I have the same cross toolchain in Linux and Windows, and I 
compile same files with same settings, are the object files 
equal? If I compile some files in Windows and some in Linux, can 
I link them together and have a working executable?

I think this should work in theory but does anybody have any real 
experience of cross compiling programs in both win and linux?
