   The compiler is written in E,
   Startup/library codes are written in E,
   internal functions are written in 68k assembler + ppc assembler,
   Support tools are written in E.

   To build the compiler you will need: 
   
   1. 
      A special version of EC (called testec, see separate archive),
      to build the 68k version of ECX.
      
   2.
      AsmOne or similar to assemble the 68k internal functions into amiga link object.
   
   3.
      PAsm or similar to assemble the ppc internal functions into amiga link object.
      
   4. 
      ECX(!) to compile startup/library code modules.
