I've started building things on my 9000/350 (HP-UX 8.0), mostly just stuff that I need that will work with HP's benighted built-in cc (though this one seems to have the ANSI compiler option, so there is some hope).
So far I got gunzip, tcsh 6.06 and perl 4.036 running, which are even period-appropriate. I'm going to try my hand at Chimera (an old web browser) next.
If people desire binaries for their own 68K HP9K, advise and I'll put them somewhere.
I guess I should try bootstrapping an old gcc at some point.

It only has X11R4, but I managed to get Chimera and xgopher running.

Re: Building stuff on my 9000/350
I've got a 4xx around here I need to see if it's still working (and, if so, what's on it). But I love how the 300 series are built like tanks. I've got a 319C+ in storage I should dig out, too, but it doesn't have a hard disk or any other storage.

Re: Building stuff on my 9000/350
This is the absolutely wrong forum for this, but I have almost fully bootstrapped gcc-4.6 on NEXTSTEP 3.3. It takes somewhere around a week on my 33 MHz TurboColor for just C and C++...

My post was in response to:

So I fully intended for it to go into this thread despite it being somewhat off-topic. It illustrates the ridiculous amount of time that modern gcc takes to bootstrap on vintage hardware.

Re: Building stuff on my 9000/350
I'm building gcc 2.4.5 on a simulated Sun-3 right now. Hopefully old enough to build properly on SunOS 4.1.1, but new enough for the versions of other things I'll need to build.
Bringing it closer to the OP, I wonder how my HP 9000/375 will compare to tme running on a modern x86 CPU, speed-wise...
