Exactly... I'm all for keeping vaxen alive, but a real kernel from a modern(!)
OS (OpenBSD, NetBSD, etc) would take up too much of the max 16M of RAM on my
uVAX2. What ever happened to pcc?

That and the optimization performed by a compiler is resource intensive. I've
seen Forte eat up 2GB of RAM on -O5 on some boxes.
