Is anyone working on porting the GNU cc compiler 
to the transputer? 

I have looked into porting it but GNU's cc
compiler expects a multi-register CPU and since
the transputer is stack based,  there
could be some sticky problems to overcome.

Even if a port is done,  performance of the
output code may suffer since it will be hard to
use the same optimization routines. 

I'm still investigating the effort involved.

Any comments?

Thanks, Steve
