Right. We did a version of Janus/Ada 95 for that machine a few years back. I
don't know if they're still maintaining it. We ended up using a storage unit
of 9 with strong alignment requirements so that strings packed naturally.
'twas very interesting to build the bootstrap cross-compiler on Intel-based
Unix boxes (we were always a bit short...)
