I've never been able to make that work for 16-bit.  Mind you I don't haven
anything to try it on if I did manage to get a 16-bit capable gcc
crosscompiler 'working' so how would I know?  What I do know about many of
those devices is that there is a telnet client for them so they could
potentially connect to a more capable system and not worry about compiling
anything for 16-bit.  I used to connect to a 64-bit mainframe from a 386,
which had a better monitor then the dumb terminals connected to the
mainframe, and run jobs that way.  The information sent to the 386 monitor
worked out fine given that endianness and 64-bit were never a factor even
though they potentially were.

Funny how that all works out when you completely ignore it.  Good thing
there were no Fido sysops on the network to screw it up.  :-)

Life is good,
Maurice
