It does indeed.  You can make one for it if you install the linux_devtools
port and use the version of gcc contained in there.  Alternatively I guess
you could build a linux cross-compiler from the gcc source code, but that
sounds way too keen to me :).

The environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH needs to contain the path where
the shared library can be found.
