Thats only partly true .....

With Amithlon you get 2 choices:
a) compile Linux-gcc, and to a partial link.
+ : maximum performance
- : different endians in 68k and x86-code, no way to call
AmigaOS-functions from the x86-side
Pretty much like coding for PuP.

b) Martin Bloom's gcc:
+ : it feels like and does what every other Amiga-compiler would feel like and do.
- : performance penalty. No C++-support (AFAIK).

So, no Amithlon is NO way to a fully native x86-AOS, it does
come close, but no cigar.
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else
