I heard an interesting rumor that some of the more esoteric switches available
in the Sparc Station compiler (notably the 68000 code generator) code be used
to build code that would execute on the 3b1.

This would make the building of some of the larger GNU sources possible, to
say nothing of speeding up the build time.

Can it be done ?  Have you done it ?

Thanks

Jack
