> There are a few other smaller issues with GCC & binutils that I'm looking at cleaning up, but overall, I think NetBSD/vax is in as good of shape as it has ever been. One thing I think would make sense as far as tidying up GCC's vax.md & vax.c is that I think most hobbyists are using CVAX and NVAX-based systems, or related, am I correct? I have a VAXstation 4000 VLC as well as the Model 90, and it seems like other people on the list have something from that era, as opposed to anything pre-Micro VAX. What I'd like to do is use the GMP harness to benchmark, in addition to GMP and MPFR themselves (yes, I want to update the tuning files that haven't been touched in 20 years in those libraries, too), the number of clock cycles of the different flavors of move, copy, compare, add, etc. on a CVAX and an NVAX system and then add compiler flags if the two are wildly different from each other.

+1
I would also say that the vast majority of remaining hobbyist systems
is based upon CVAX and NVAX in all flavours.
What could also be considered is "Rigel" (VS3100/76) and its revised
version called "Mariah" (VS4000/60)!
