DG did the original port of gcc to the M88K chip, and of >course provided all changes/enhancements as per GPL. Mention of the Amiga reminds me that Atari also use the gcc for their SVR4 port. Relatively small companies like Commodore and Atari selling low-cost machines just don't have the resources to develop good compilers; for them I guess the GCC is a life-saver.
