In recent (March 26) private email Anders told me that indeed the CVS
repository went unreachable because the machine it was hosted on was
shut down.

He said he has a plan to move it to https://github.com/PortableCC and
that there are some pending fixes for it but that he hasn't had time to
make the move yet.

I asked him about the Git import at https://github.com/didickman/pcc and
he said that looks like a good version to reference for now.  That
repository seems to me to be a faithful conversion of the original CVS
repository.  It has a DATESTAMP of 20230830 (which is ~7.5 years ahead
of the version that was imported into, and is still in, the NetBSD
source tree).
