Seems this is possible in the same way as you can create code for i386
with your normal x86 compiler. But I don't really know. That was a quick
install of SuSE, I didn't look closely what I actually installed.

Well, I can't seen any point in it for PPC, windows codecs won't run
anyway. Also, is there any PPC CPU that supports both 32 and 64 bits? I
though they don't stick to ancients-support so much *g*
