No vax or Alpha back ends.  Looks like it's just built with lex and yacc.

Might be possible to port to VMS on x86, although there are still going to
be a lot of changes to deal with shared libraries.

Porting to vax or Alpha would be much harder.

Why bother, though.  What's wrong with gnu Pascal?
