[openbeos] Re: PPC Cross-compiling

It was mentioned in a previous post that the linux and BeOS ELF format is the same. I am a Delphi Developer that would really like to help where I can. My specialty is System utilities so I consider myself technically savvy but I have a question.
Are compilers tied to an OS?

For example if the Borland Kylix command line compiler will run on OBOS is there a reason it couldn't be used to develop applications for OBOS? I have verified that the Kylix compiler will output ELF formatted binaries. I do understand the IDE and the "include" files would not work and would need to be re-implemented. I just want to know if this is a worthwhile project.

Thanks.
