What's that to do with Linux? The GNU tools aren't any OS-centered, they also
exist on DOS, OS/2 and all Unices out there. And you don't say that OpenDOS
with the full suite of GNU tools is an DOSLinux ;)

No, it wouldn't work at all. What's the binary loader for when you don't have
the OS that the binary's been compiled for? You'd need a Linux emulator for
windowz to run it. The GNU tools have nothing to do with it.
