I was curious about the GCC port as I've spent far, far too much time
looking through GCC support for various platforms and I have no memory of
this target.  Turns out it was an entirely independent effort, and probably
a one-off:

.  The standard C compiler was a different beast, and I was not immediately
able to recognize its lineage; it may have been developed from scratch.
