I vaguely recall GCC compiled for the 3B2 (WE32000) but they didn't have
an assembler, and the SysV assembler only came with the development system,
so if you were just trying to avoid paying for the compiler, gcc didn't
help any.

(I paid for the compiler. Think I've still got the floppies somewhere...)
