Bash script ./configure detects where it is run and creates a Makefile for that platform.

The ./configure checks uname and bitness.

On Linux a lina will be created, on MacOS a xina.

And on an MSDOS machine a mina will be created... ciforth is in essence a cross compilation system that only runs on linux. There is no reason why there cannot be generated a xina, provided the mysteries around elf headers in OSX are solved. Trying to run ciforth on OSX is a waste of time. Trying to run ciforth on MS-Windows would be a monumental waste of time. Rejected. This proposal
