MySQL/MariaDB runs on VMS Alpha and VMS Itanium.

All that is needed to build for VMS x86-64 in the same
version (5.5) as on the other two should be a traditional VMS
compiler. Isn't C++ available as cross compiler?

It has explained stated that getting newer versions of
MySQL/MariaDB (10.x and 11.x) running on VMS require compiler
with support for newer standards - aka need clang.
