Yes.  Contact Chris Smith (csmith@convex.com) for the specifics.
I don't remember if the assignments for gas were ever given
back to the FSF however.

One nit;  Convex uses 'SOFF' format executables, not COFF.
A few of the structure names are changed, amoung other things.

If my memory serves, the only GNU utility not running on the Convex
is the loader.
