Eh? I *thought* I knew everyone who was playing with gcc here, and I've never heard of anyone doing a gcc backend for the 90x CPU. I can ask around, though. >Last I heard, Pyramid was uninterested in releasing it because it would >reveal too much proprietary information about their system. That would be a pretty silly reason. ;-) If someone at Pyramid were to do a 90x gcc backend, it wouldn't be released because: (a) there would be no point in supporting it, since Pyramid already has its own C compiler; (b) Pyramid does not ship software that isn't supported.
