So far I have not been able to find anyone who has, (at least
recently) ported GCC to the Tandem platform.

It looks like support for nsr-tandem-nsk was removed 3.1.1, so I am
currently trying to build a GCC/GCJ cross compiler with the 3.1

tandem code to 3.4.x.

Thank you for this.  I am having all sorts of trouble with the
standard configure script.  Maybe this will ease that pain.
