Yes. You can use an emulator like Basilisk II though.

Oh yeah, Roger Milne's page.
Yes, you can use that. If your linker output the proper thing, that
is. It will take your code and stuff it into a Newton Package (hence
providing the minimum NewtonScript part).
BTW, Roger says that three parameters are passed to R1-R3.
This is wrong.
The four first parameters are passed to R0-R3 and the next ones are
passed on the stack. First parameter of functions called from
NewtonScript is the reference of the receiver frame. Next parameters
are NewtonScript parameters (as references). And there is a maximum I
don't recall of.
Result shall be put in R0 as a reference. NewtonScript native
functions should always return something (a good idea is to return
0x2, aka NIL).

Indeed. Last time I tried on LinuxPPC, I had to get Linux kernel
source code then patches for ARM and finally try to compile gcc with
that. I got the C part but I never succeeded to compile the C++ part.
I finally gave up and used gcc on NetBSD (NetBSD and FreeBSD have
packages/ports for gcc arm-cross compilers).
