As for GCC, I don't think the PDP-11 back end is in good shape. I
haven't checked, but it could have been dropped from later releases,
because the last few years, the GCC team has been busy pruning their
source tree from old cruft.
Has anyone thought of or tried to port the gcc to
the old unixes?
Both gcc and GNU binutils already support PDP-11 targets, at
least to some extent, so you can already do cross development
targeted at the PDP-11.
