I'm sort of running a nursing home for old hardware, and prior abuses
they've seen in their lives apparently left them without much hardware...

Well, I have
(1) MIPS R3000 (little-endian) DecStation 5000/200
(2) m680000 (sun3)
(3) SparcStation 1 (sun4c)
... the last versions of gcc that could produce working kernels on these
are all different. IIRC the m68k/sun3 one is quite old... I'll have to
dig the precise versions up later in a little while.
Cheers,
Bill
