I'd love to do that, but although gas is supposed to have been working
on Tru64 UNIX at some point, it fails for the simplest programs right
now, cf. binutils PRs

gas/11518	Support explicit relocations for Alpha ECOFF
gas/11517	Fatal error assembling ldgp for Alpha ECOFF
gas/11516	Fatal error assembling jsr for Alpha ECOFF

I still haven't gotten around to investigate what's wrong there.

I agree that mips-tfile is a mess, and only works natively.
