Ultrix? BSD4.x? I believe the VAX/VMS target has already been obsoleted.
Both Ultrix and BSD4.x are straight a.out ports.  I'd like the a.out
support to remain since the cost to keep it about zero.  As stated
elsewhere, the simulator is a hardware simulator and will doesn't really
care about binary file formats.

Where is backends.html?  It doesn't seem to be in my (recently) updated
gcc CVS tree.
