A port of gcc to the ROMP has been done by Richard Kenner at NYU (kenner@vlsi1.ultra.nyu.edu). It is an AOS (BSD) port, and seems stable, but I haven't done any real testing. The compiler will compile itself. I am currently using it on an RT 25 running Mach. The port involved non-trivial hacking of gcc itself, mostly in the area of instruction scheduling. The compiler can be ftp'd from jim.ultra.nyu.edu, but only after hours. Since none of the AOS-supplied compilers will completely compile the code, the compressed tar file contains all the .o and binary files and runs about 5M. To my knowledge, nothing has been done about a port to AIX; this would involve a change to the stack frame and call sequence, the floating point interface, miscellaneous assembler differences, and the usual ugliness attendant to porting BSD code to a SysV-ish system (2.2.1 is better than some others, but it sure ain't seamless).
