Sure.  We develop Executor/DOS (a commercial Macintosh(tm) emulator
that uses djgpp) under Linux with cross-compilation tools.  The *only*
thing we do under DOS is test the compiled app.  The setup works
extremely well.  Once we can run Executor under dosemu, I'll be
ecstatic (there were some known problems in their DPMI mouse handling
code last time I tried it).
