   That is hobby work.

   I want to restore another program, for that plain C would be enough.   
   I have no short/medium time plans to add GCC frontends beyond   
   what already is in GCC tree.

   Maybe.  At first glance supporting VMS x86-64 should be easy as   
   x86-64 instruction set is supported quite well in gcc and object   
   file format (ELF) has very good support too.  But there are   
   proprietary changes/extentions to the objcet format and very   
   little documentation about such changes (there is calling standard   
   document).

   ATM talking about this is premature.  At some moment I will move   
   to different things and that probably will be before any my attempt   
   to natively run compilers.
