(I crossposted and redirected followups to gnu.misc.discuss, because
there's nothing about GCC bugs here...)

   ...what is the current status of GNU relating to these new [DEC
   RISC] machines?  What is available presently, and what could be
   expected in a very near future?

From gcc/config.gcc:
	dec-3100 | decstation)		# Decstation or pmax.
		cpu_type=mips
		target_machine=tm-decstatn.h
	        ;;

From emacs/etc/MACHINES:
	Pmax, Mips from DEC (m-pmax.h; s-bsd4-3.h)
	
	  Minor changes merged in 18.55.

Of the other more machine-dependent stuff, there's no support in gas
or gdb yet.  I haven't unpacked the latest g++, or bash, so I can't
say about them for sure, though I'd expect that g++ would be fine.

The other more generic stuff that doesn't much care what machine it's
on (bison, flex, tar, make, chess, go, grep, ghostscript, dbm, diff,
[cg]perf, indent, awk, plot, sed, etc.) shouldn't cause much trouble.
