Yes, but originally the Cygnus tools ran under unix - until they had could use
their GCC under windows - so it is possible to set up a cross-compiler under

Tell me do you really know your brother man
Cause a heart speaks louder than a colour can
And why would you even shake a man's hand
If you're not going to help him stand
