From what I've heard, the earliest versions of Linux were cross-compiled on a Minix system. I've stored one of Linus' old postings about the earliest days, and in his famous "Do you pine for the nice days of minix-1.1, when men were men and wrote their own device drivers?" message announcing linux is this note:

These sources still need minix-386 to be > compiled (and gcc-1.40, possibly 1.37.1, haven't tested), and you need > minix to set it up if you want to run it, so it is not yet a > standalone system for those of you without minix. -- Henrik Storner | "ATA100 is another testimony to the fact that <henrik@storner.dk> | pigs can be made to fly given sufficient thrust" | | Linux kernel hacker Alan Cox, on IDE drives - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
