Sidenote:
 Presumably the ESA (European Space Agency) think the 1750a
port is still active, but it looks like it's under local
maintenance, using gcc-2.7.2 as a base.
 Enter "1750" in the search box at <URL:http://www.esa.int/> or just
<URL:http://www.estec.esa.nl/wmwww/WME/compilrs/Ch2_Description.html>.

 Hmm, maybe the local maintainers, "Chris Nettleton Software"
would be interested in cooperating with egcs?
(Or are they already here?)
