[gnu.gcc] gcc for IBM RT?

dld@F.GP.CS.CMU.EDU (David Detlefs) (02/09/89)

I was wondering if anyone could tell me the status of a gcc port to
the IBM RT/PC.  I tried to send mail to Richard Kenner of NYU, who was
apparently in the process of doing this, but he hasn't responded.  I
understand that the RT architecture is different enough from the
abstract machine targeted by the output of the gcc front-end to
require some changes in the front-end/code-generator interface (is
this called RTL, for Register Transfer Language?)  My eventual aim is
to use G++, so would anyone who knows care to speculate on whether
such changes would take a while to migrate to G++?

Thanks in advance.
