Anyone fancy porting libffi to VAX?



From the package spiel:

| The libffi library provides a portable, high level programming
| interface to various calling conventions. This allows a programmer to
| call any function specified by a call interface description at run
| time.

Its available for:
alpha, arm, avr32, cris, fr-v, ia64, m32r, m68k, mips, pa, powerpc,
s390, sh, sh64, sparc & x86.

VAX is notablably absent from the list :/

For reference the m68k support runs to somewhat over 500 lines:

    278 src/m68k/ffi.c
     49 src/m68k/ffitarget.h
    234 src/m68k/sysv.S

Various software packages including glib2 default to depending on
libffi.  Obviously the dependency can be disabled, omitting that
functionality, but in case someone fancied a bit of VAX hacking I
thought I'd mention it on this list :)

Alternatively if anyone knows of another location where potential
VAX code hackers hang out...
