Sure. Download the source tarballs for binutils and gcc, and in order,
do:
./configure --target-m68k-wrs-vxworks --host=i386-foo-freebsd2.2
make
make install
It'll take a couple of hours, and you will, of course, need VxWorks. ;^)
If you want to try roughing it, you can compile for a.out or coff and
learn enough 'ld' to generate an absolute load module in S records or
Intel hex format. The Fujitsu SPARClite I've been working with does
exactly this, I use --target=sparclite-coff. I extracted the library
files from the distribution CD-ROM rather than rebuilding them all.
This also got me the ld scripts and makefiles from the SunOS version,
which were quite usable on FreeBSD as soon as I fixed up a few paths to
libraries and such.
FreeBSD makes an excellent cross-development platform; it's kind of cool
to use GUD-mode in Emacs while single stepping the kernel on another
machine over the network. ;^)
