It does, but
 - it requires fiddling to work with the RISC OS gccsdk,
 - minor changes to the make file (to get it to compile the 32 bit
   version as well) and the note about invoking it with -r
 - minor filename renaiming

Building OSLib under UNIX/Linux
-------------------------------

It is possible to build OSLib under UNIX/Linux (I believe it is done at
Pace), but lacking an appropriate platform myself, I am unable to attempt it,
and therefore documenting the process is difficult.

Hopefully, this paragraph can be filled out in the future.
