Strange that gcc has so much trouble for VAX. I thought that had gotten a fair amount of

pdp11, that's a different story, though I do try to do some more bits from time to
time...
Are you working on that?? I recently ran across this page:
http://www.diane-neisius.de/pdp11/index_E.html
...in which a very enthusiastic person got it running some time ago,
but with some pretty significant restrictions.
I'd truly love to see the PDP-11 GCC back-end be resurrected and made
to be fully functional. It may have a very limited appeal, but I
already use GCC-based cross-compilers for many different architectures
in both my work and recreational activities (both mostly ARM7), and
would love to be able to do some bare-metal PDP-11 work with GCC as well.
If you're working on this, allow me to voice my heartfelt support for
this effort!
