Sure. Download the source tarballs for binutils and gcc, and in order, do: ./configure --target-m68k-wrs-vxworks --host=i386-foo-freebsd2.2 make make install It'll take a couple of hours, and you will, of course, need VxWorks. ;^) If you want to try roughing it, you can compile for a.out or coff and learn enough 'ld' to generate an absolute load module in S records or Intel hex format. The Fujitsu SPARClite I've been working with does exactly this, I use --target=sparclite-coff. I extracted the library files from the distribution CD-ROM rather than rebuilding them all. This also got me the ld scripts and makefiles from the SunOS version, which were quite usable on FreeBSD as soon as I fixed up a few paths to libraries and such. FreeBSD makes an excellent cross-development platform; it's kind of cool to use GUD-mode in Emacs while single stepping the kernel on another machine over the network. ;^) -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
