If someone can get me gcc source I'll be glad to start working on a port
part-time... I can't ftp from this machine.  I really don't know how big a
project it'll be.  The compiler will have to compile down to object code...
not to assembly: doing it like pcc & just using the system assembler would
be slow as all get-out.  But this means that the compiler has to know about
OMF...
