Re: Issues with native build of -10 on VAX

For full story and commit logs for GCC/vax fixes by Kalvis, see:

I was going to announce this work on port-vax@ as soon as 10.0_RC1
is published. However, unfortunately, I've been almost occupied by
daily business recently... I'm so sorry for this.

It is probably because this is the first try to self build
NetBSD/vax ;)

Thanks to Kalvis's works, we could remove all -O[01] hacks for
*cross* build for NetBSD/vax. Also, pkgsrc/lang/perl5 can build
natively on vax. However, this does not mean that NetBSD/vax
itself builds natively.

Needless to say, GCC is the one of the most complex beasts we
need to handle. I guess that there still remain hard works to
build GCC natively. We must improve the situation step by step,
even after a giant leap made by Kalvis.

Thanks,
