The PDP-11 ISA is sane enough that one could create a LLVM backend and
cross-compile to it using any of the LLVM-supported languages.  It'd be quite
perverse to run C++14 code on it, but the code would likely be smaller and
faster than anything generated by a native compiler.

Bonus points for running Java on it :)
