Yet there are a lot of installations running OpenVMS (Alpha and/or VAX
variants) via virtual machines, because it is easier to certify that the VM
emulation is producing identical binaries as the original hardware, than it
is to certify the software that would be built by porting from the VMS
build-tools to native (cross-) development {the case I have experience with
is an emulated VAX/VMS running a cross-compiler for 68040}.
