If this helps at all, I've been working (very, very slowly) on a port of v32 to Intel platforms. At first I used gcc for some kernel work, but quickly realized that it would be overwhelming to the final v7 system. Since I don't want to do the work twice, I looked for a different compiler suite. I switched to the ACK compiler suite and just finished the WinXP cross compiler work. It has a pdp11 back end, which I have yet to try, that may be useful. It isn't gcc, but ir does do ANSI C and the i386 assembler seems to be pretty complete. Let me know if there's any interest and I'll put it up on my site for download.
