That's basically it in a nutshell, and I'd agree. gcc right now is not
in any state to be truly useable. You can do basic RSDOS stuff with it,
but that's about it. It doesn't produce position-independant code, and
in its current incarnation can't. Boisy did some work to get the linker
to produce OS-9 binaries, but it's been hindered by that fact.
