I was really confused by the mention of 68k at first since MacOS 8.6 dropped support for that, but following the link it looks like it supports System 7 as well.

Cross-compiling would be faster (than emulation or too-old hardware), but I have never heard it called "easy". There are a lot of projects out there that need special configuration, and many don't even support the HOSTCC variable, etc. And that's before considering the importance of system libraries.

I commented that because the author said "dealing with the foibles of CodeWarrior". I guess in the scenario cross-compiling wouldn't be easy, but possibly easier?
