I've been to a three-day "Integrity Developer Forum" where two
guys tried (on iVMS V8.0), but due to the nature of the build
process, it'll be very complicated while only cross-compilers
are available (and the two guys finally gave up).
That said, I did successfully build and run ZIP, UNZIP, GZIP,
VMSTAR, and MicroEMACS. I don't expect too much hassle once
iVMS V8.1 with a native C compiler is out.

Martin
