That would be neat.
For those of us who have moved on from CVS, I have mirror of the
code at https://github.com/arnoldrobbins/pcc-revived.
I tend to sync it with the CVS about once a week. There hasn't been
much activity on it in the past few weeks.
It's noticeably faster than GCC but I wouldn't say 100x. :-)

It's been done. Anders Magnusson has
done quite a bit to port pcc and
add both ANSI and selected GCC features.
A quick google search reveals:
http://pcc.ludd.ltu.se/
and https://www.openbsd.org/papers/magnusson_pcc.pdf
which is a set of slides on the work done.
I've been itching to rewrite PDP-7 Unix in a higher level language.
I've already designed the language and written a compiler for the PDP-7
(see https://github.com/DoctorWkt/h-compiler) but the generated code sucks.
Maybe I should try to retarget PCC, it would be slightly ironic :-)
