This *appears* to not be impossible.  It appears that an "mjr@tut.fi" 
authored  a version of gcc that will run under msdos on a 386 with at
least 4Mb of ram. There was also a statement made that it would be put
on anon ftp "real soon now."

Unfortunately, it appears that "mjr@tut.fi" is now a black hole (even tut.fi
appears barren).

If anyone has a lead on who/where "mjr@tut.fi" is, please emil or post.
Thanks.

PS: I, and I would assume many others, would also be interested in the 
"xv" emulator mentioned in this posting.
