Sounds wild -- grep thru automatically scanned archives - found it!

Places are:	emptys.cc.umich.edu:unix/gnu/gcc370.shar.Z  and
		funic.funet.fi:pub/gnu/gcc/gcc370.shar.Z

   It appears that this is the long-awaited implementation of GNU C for
   the IBM System/370, but I would like to know more.

   Does anyone know what the real status of the GNU C compiler for
   the 370 is?  If it is available, what operating systems is it available
   for?

It is something wrapped back in  Jun 6, 1989...
Created by  Jan Stein (jan@cd.chalmers.se) - why I haven't heard about it ?
Now that I found it, it is plain obvious that those guys made it...
They have before made a commercial C compilers for 370 machines.

OS. - maybe UTS.  It seems to be cross-compile tested.  README tells more.
This isn't the version what Amdahl was looking, but had to back off.
Not too well optimized I would say.  Nor info of which is gcc version
where is can be used.

Sad that FINTUVM.BITNET is being scrapped, otherwise I would look deeply
into it.  - Oh: Those without  Internet FTP access can get this file from
LISTSERV@MAMMUTTI.UTU.FI (aka LISTSERV@FINTUVM.BITNET) with command:
  /PDGET MAIL FUNIC.FUNET.FI:pub/gnu/gcc/gcc370.shar.Z  (UUE

If you try it too soon - or misstype cases - it won't be available.
LISTSERV scanns remote unix sites every 3-4 days for fresh directory.
