    Has anybody ported the GNU C compiler to run under V?  Has anybody done
any work to make the C compiler generate faster code or understand 68020
instructions.  In short, is there any better C compiler than the one that
went out with 6.0?  I was hoping that somebody else had done the legwork,
otherwise we may do it here.

    I've been off the air for a while, so I haven't been keeping up on what's
going to change with version 7.0.  Is it a complete rewrite or are just parts
getting changed?  Our kernel and libraries are so heavily modified that I
doubt we'll bring 7.0 up, but I'd like to know what's been added/sped up so
that we can decide if it'll be worthwhile.

Thanks,
