Does anyone have a tool chain that could be used to port applications?

Its mostly going to to be the same stuff as used by the gamecube with some additional drivers for the controllers ( haven't been built yet. )
Here's a link that you can follow up on http://www.gamedev.net/community/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=285959 |

I haven't got a chance to test the kernels I built with this new version (my girlfriend is borrowing my GameCube right now), but you're more than welcome to try out my build script. 1.6-Alpha is the on you'll want to use. I say alpha because I haven't tested the tool chain for GC-Linux yet. The kernel builds, but other than that I don't know if it's working. It's based on uClibc. If you do test the script feedback is always welcome. BTW, the script is written in Bash and I've tested it to work in both Linux and NetBSD. It has many options (such as building the compiler with a cross compiler for instance) and six supported platforms. Dreamcast has been the main platform for me to work on with it. Though, GameCube was the original target before I found devkitpro's build scripts. Long story short, it's not hard to use the script, and fairly easy to extend.
Like wickedknight said, most all (if not all) the GameCube stuff should work.
Here's the link to the script (and past versions):

A toolchain is a collection of programs and libraries that source code must run through in order to be compiled and linked for a specific system. The toolchain allows raw coding to be built for a system without being built natively on that system. Kind of like when you install an application on *NIX systems.
| Quote: | /configure
make
make install |
The source codes runs a series of tests to see what system it is running on and whether the dependencies are present for it to be able to execute on that system.
