For what it's worth, I've made the changes needed so that you can do a
build with GCC 3.3.2. Since GCC 3.3.2 doesn't have support for producing
PIC code, the system will built and linked entirely static. This causes a
huge increase in program size. As I expected, GCC 3.3.2 has major problems
generating valid VAX code.
If you want, you can do a GCC3 build for VAX but you won't have working
programs. To do this, you use these options with build.sh:
-V HAVE_GCC3=yes -V CHECKFLIST_FLAGS=-m
