The elements of it are there, there is a gcc port for VAX/VMS
(I am not sure it is up to date), and there is the GNAT port
of VMS/AXP.

However, it would likely still be quite a large project, even
for someone who was fully familiar with the GNAT technology.
If you are not fully familiar, you would probably be facing
a pretty difficult task.

We have not done the port at ACT, because so far there has been
no serious commercial interest (Digital in particular had no
interest in this port).
