They will compile on Linux, but are not packaged for Debian yet.  Look
for the prc-tools package:

  ryeham.ee.ryerson.ca:/pub/PalmOS/prc-tools.0.5.0.tar.gz

I have a binutils package for Debian that is ready except for the
/usr/doc stuff (Readme, copyright, etc.)  But I haven't done a gcc one
yet.  I'm been rather busy lately. :(

The windowing environment uses something similar to Linux syscalls,
which are handled in include files.
