Thanks a lot (also to Martin).

I will do as you told me and will post the outcome here.

Since it will take a few weeks until I have access to the target Linux
system, it will be postponed till then. I might try on a different
system before hand. But I am very busy with other things right now
(deadlines) and new to Linux as an development platform, so everything
might take some time (and some more questions here?).

At least I know that I can use this compiler and can plan things
accordingly.
