NCR Towers brings me some memories; a few being scheduled to arrive at work
later was the reason I started learning unix (mostly on 4.1 bsd) in -84,
using them [i.e. system v] when they finally arrived in -85 was the main
reason I ended up a bsd fanatic :-)
I can't remember trying cross-compiling though, when we got the 32's
the older ones were replaced. But since the NCR 32 was a 68020 machine
and the XP used a 68010 (*) (if I remember correctly), maybe the same tools
were used only with some flags to generate -010 code together with an
extra set of libraries? That would make it a bit to easy to qualify as
a cross environment imho.

(*) Or was it _two_ of them? I have some faint memories they had to use
two to make it work with a multi-process os.
