As I said, this is a platform they (IBM, that is) stopped making in
1991. I was using one in 1998, as a terminal, but I didn't have the
compiler LPP so I don't know whether hc was the system compiler or a
3rd-party product.
I still use one, but pretty much for the same reason.
Thinking about it a bit more, maybe it does make sense to drop the
target entirely. Retro-computing fanatics will probably be quite
happy with gcc 2.x.
I'd feel bad about it too because it was the first machine I ported
GCC to. But it's handy to keep such ports around as a source of ideas
for other ports.
However, I think the chances of anybody trying to build GCC starting
with hc on that target are small enough that I don't think we need to
worry about it.
