Last I tried (which was several months ago) FSF gcc was not even
remotely close to bootstrapping itstelf on VAX. Matt Thomas fixed lots
of issues for our in-tree version, I suppose he will deal with
upstreaming them himself (as he is a gcc commiter). Back then I filed
bugzilla tickets, but they did not get much attention.
