Turns out there's a set of patches for gcc that can build a
cross-compiler targeted at the PDP 11 instruction set.  The output
seems mostly compatible with the UNIX format for PDP 11 assembler
language.  I've built the cross-compiler, and it seems to work OK.

The problem is that the cross-compiler, as distributed, uses the
entire PDP 11 instruction set.  I have zero experience with gcc; is
there anyone else interested in working with me to retarget the
cross-compiler at the LSI 11 instruction set?

Reading this gcc-related posting, I cannot help but come up
with a related question. Is this the only freely available
pdp/lsi-11 C compiler? Or even: is this the only freely
available compiler for whatever language?
  I'm currenlty trying to get small-c to compile under unix
(it's made to compile with itself, and that includes a lot
of magic with pointers...) so i can have a go at letting it
generate pdp/lsi-11 code.

Greetings, Bert
