You mean back before this year when GCC for the RT under AOS was finally
released.

Free software comes when people who want something want it bad enough to
go do it themselves. There is certainly no impetus for most RT users in
the academic community to do it; they almost all use AOS/4.3BSD (to the
extent that the RT is still used at all.) I'm sure there are qualified
people who use AIX 2.x for the RT out there. Maybe they just don't read
this newsgroup, or they don't care.
