Hi Gerald,
What is it exactly you're looking for on that page? That web page was from
my old research group, so if there's something in particular you're looking
for, I can try poking some of the people to see whether they still have the
files. FYI, Aaron Sawdey who now works for IBM doing performance work wrote
that GCC-DLX port.
I'll note that Matt O'keefe who was our research advisor no longer works
at the University of Minnesota so that's why the pages no longer work.
