ALERT!
I have heard that GCC maintainers consider dropping VAX support
alltogether. That would be a major problem wouldn't it? I have
a source quoting Mark Mitchell as follows:
>>>>(Note that people are talking about dropping VAX support altogether;
>>>>you should probably jump in on that debate if you feel up to keeping the
>>>>processor support working. I expect it's a lot less work to keep ULTRIX
>>>>working on the MIPS processors than do keep the VAX machine description
>>>>up to date.)
Who knows more about this? It does require some action doesn't it?
regards
