That made me think...
I would be interesting to see the speed of a full compile under SIMH/vax
running on a top-of-the-line (speedwise  2.4Ghz?) Intel box
Maybe that can be used to solve the cross-compile problems that have
been discussed recently?

(if a VAX cross-compile on a Intel x86 (Pentium-whatever) works, but
the same compile on a true hardware VAX fails...could this troubleshooting
 be helped by running SIMH/vax on the Intel box if the compile speed is
fast enough?)
