You never know. There is after all, somebody porting GCC to the Dec-10
architecture, something like 10-15 years after DEC stopped making them (I don't
recall when the plug was pulled). I seem to recall discussion about the VAX
and GCC working on pristine BSD 4.3 in the last 2 months. Unfortunately, the
AS400 effort seems to be running into a wall.
