The BeOS-built i586-pc-beos binary should work in gcc2-built Haiku (and
gcc4 builds as well except for C++ stuff maybe).
Might require some tweaking on libs (bone...), but it should work.
Some software might not like it saying it's -beos while uname returns
Haiku (some check in configure scripts), but autocrap will have to be
fixed to recognize Haiku anyway... Any volunteer ? I can provide the
aspirin :)
