I think that all the code / information neccesary to port the toolchain to
linux is there, but no-one has done it. You should check with the
manufacturers though.

Someone else discussed it here a few weeks back, so you might be able to
get some help. I'm interesting in the final product, but dont realy have
time to help with porting anything.

Many of the DSP development boards can be used with linux, but they tend
to be outragously expensive, you you would have to make your own MIDI i/o
too - though they have compatible serial ports I think.

There is one oldish 56k based development board which isn't too expensive,
and has a large user community, but its pretty slow
