I didn't have to do as or ld, I didn't need a fully optimized port and
I was able to do a port in 30 days, working part time. Hopefully gcc
isn't harder to port now than it was a decade ago. My port didn't
bootstrap and the testsuites weren't around at the time.
Bootstrapping and passing the testsuites as fully as other ports, will
tend to bump up the time. If you want an optimized port, and another 90%. :-)
