Try ftp'ing it from jim.ultra.nyu.edu ? That's where I think I got
mine from.

Does anyone know the status of this port? For instance, who did it,
how reliable it is, and if it will eventually be integrated into the fsf
distribution?

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).
