And Windows 9x is an emulator too, it enables Windows programs to run
under ms-dos, it emulates the win32 API. SO it is a emulator.

To me, an "emulator" is something that translates one machine
language to another on the fly (either by interpreting or dynamic
recompilation).  For example, NES and Java programs run on emulators.

So it runs a DJGPP 2 program.  Would the DJGPP version of GCC run?
If so, who needs the cross-compiler (and all the build headaches)?
