Does anyone know where the 386 port from PCC came
from?
While trying to build a Tahoe userland for the i386, it seems that
everything was built with GCC… Was there a PCC for the i386 around
’88-90? It seems after the rapid demise of the Tahoe/Harris HCX-9
that the non Vax/HCX-9 platforms had moved to GCC?
I'm pretty sure that from Tahoe on UCB just used GCC. The PCC based
compiler for i386 was available on System V ports, but by then
UCB wasn't using code from AT&T.
You can get a modernized PCC from
http://pcc.ludd.ltu.se/
(CVS) or my git mirror at https://github.com/arnoldrobbins/pcc-revived.
