  I suspect that it is impossible to rebuild OS/8
today.  I would be 
  surprised if OS/8 was actually maintained on a
PDP-8.  All of the 
  diagnostic listing, for example, were generated
using  PAL10 on a PDP-10.

 That is easily remedied.? We can certainly host PAL10
 and any other PDP-10
 based tools (PAL11, for example) on either the Tops-10 2065
 or the TOPS-20
 Toad-1 at PDPplanet.? Let me know what you need, and
 I'll try to track it
 down.
