Dear help-gcc...

I am Mikael Dich from Electromagnetics Institute, Technical University of
Denmark and right in front of me I have an IBM/RISC6000 - 320. I think
it is a quite nice computer, but the C-compiler has some minor drawbacks.

I would therefore very much like to install the gcc compiler on this
computer, because I have heard so much good about it.

I then got the distributed code home via anonymous ftp and unpacked it.
When I browsed through the README and INSTALL I was not able to find a
configuration for the RISC6000 and I couldn't find any information on
what to do, if the RISC6000 was not on the list. (I then got very sad.)

My questions is now: 
1: Is there any possibility to install the gcc on my system
   unless I have to code a lot ? 
2: Do you know anybody that also is trying to port the gcc to RISC's ?
3: How big a job would you think it is to port it, if nobody has done
   it before ? 
4: Is there any possibility to use the g++ without having the gcc ?    

Sorry to use your time on silly questions..

                               Kindest Regard
                                Mikael Dich
