<<Mips does still exist, barely. Vax does as well. The things that are killing
those is the increasing amount of bugs in gcc releases. Likewise for m68k,
but less so (and lack of knowledgeable people to fix those bugs, along
with the very time consuming nature of building gcc on a somewhat slow
machine...)

Actually MIPS processors are very widely used (don't confuse MIPS with
SGI). How many of these applications (which are mostly embedded apps)
use gcc I don't know. We have several users of GNAT on embedded MIPS
(and many users of GNAT on SGI).
