Always good to see a VAXstation being put to good use.

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

Sad to say, but gcc really stinks... And the amount of time it needs to compile even something trivial is close to eternity. :-(

pdp11, that's a different story, though I do try to do some more bits from time to time...

You mean the gcc PDP-11 backend? Are you mad? :-)
