I have sort of a feeling that Amiga got bitten a little by the huge
Linux hype. Assuming that the Amiga SDK is not dependent on the Linux
kernel, or that the dependencies are quite trivial, why couldn't/can't
they release the package for other free OS? *BSD would be very ideal,
and I believe that these days a lot of classic Amiga users also run
NetBSD on their old boxes.
I can't see the costs on providing the system for *BSD (say FreeBSD,
NetBSD/i386 (and /Amiga ;) and OpenBSD/i386) anywhere so
high that they couldn't do it.
