In 1987 gcc would compile to 68k quite well. Before

SumMacC. Anyway, I think the Kinetics fastpath was compiled with that and I could swear I
was using it as a C compiler on a vax-11/750 running mt. xinu in mid 80's. Find
someone from pixar - they
were using it to compile Macintosh code. I don't know the lineage of that compiler,
but I think it was a port of something older.
SumMacC was based on MIT/LCS/Terman's port of pcc for the NuMachine project.
I thought I had the sources, but all I've been able to turn up is the MIT compiler
collection tape with
a bunch of obscure pcc ports.
