Super thanks I’ll take a look!

I guess I should also say the attempt at bringing Mach to the Amiga saved a few bits of Mach when they were doing the Net/2 sub system, but then the lawsuit happened and as we all know academia and the world moved away from the microkernel thing (well except for Utah).  But I guess now with the news of SeL4’s demise it’s basically all Linux and NT these days.

Hello!
If it helps atll  the strange people at Ibib managed to rescue the
collection that was running on the Linux distro side of the house, and
it's stored in their historic-linux directory.. Oh and the very early
Slackware stuff is available on the mirror of Slackware's FTP site on
the Mirror Services site at ftp.mirrorservice.org. Incidentally a very
early mirror of the TSX site is also inside that historic-linux
directory.

Much as everyone else seems to try to kill 32bit stuff which makes running ancient GCC on modern platforms a bit more challenging as I’ll have to do it under emulation.  If I had the time/knowledge a 64bit hosted copy of GCC 1.42 would be cool but I think I may be the only one interested in compiling old Linux/BSD stuff with the original tools on newer (and alien) platforms.
