OCODE Backend

[Rasmussen, David Ravn]

www.opentv.com has a compiler for developing to their platform,
generating OCODE (stack based virtual machine code) from C. Their
compiler is an old gcc 2.6.0 which has been altered somehow.

As I understand it, there were certain problems at the time because gcc
2.6.0 was naturally suited for register machines, but not ideally suited
for stack based machines.

1) Is current gcc more suited for stack machines than was 2.6.0?
2) Is current gcc a suitable starting point for an C/C++ to OCODE
compiler?
