I have offered in the past to get GCC built and installed on any sort of
MIPS-based SVR4 system which someone (anyone) is willing to provide me
a guest account on (which I can TELNET to via the internet).

(Given that I did the original port of GCC to both SVr4 and Solaris, I
believe that I am qualified to do the job.)

In the past, when I made this offer, I got no takers, however I here make
the offer again.

Let me make one thing really clear.  Many people have asked to have GCC
ported to MIPS-based systems running various flavors of SVr4.  This would
be a reasonably easy thing to accomplish if I had access to the machine
resources necessary to accomplish it.  If none of you folks who want this
port done is even willing to provide the necessary hardware resources to
get the job done (let alone any help and/or money for the port), then you
have no right to moan about the lack of such a port.
