a cross-compiler would not enable the use of binary-only, commercial
apps.
i've never looked in detail at the palm-os development system. isn't
it based on code warrior? writing a bunch of Newton C++ to replace
their system libs, and a smart loader, would hopefully mean that you
could minimise the amount of CPU time spent emulating m68k
instructions.
or maybe you could run their binary apps through a converter, like the
Digital FX/32 (or whatever it was called. something like that) which
converts x86 binaries to Alpha binaries?
but really, this is a huge undertaking ...
