For myself  a C  style  compiler would be  nice,  but  I am  developing 
a  18 bit computer
here. Ok today I am mostly  answering  email  on the  list.   Unix  #1  
would  be great to
port but that is still AT&T  code with all the  software rights to  it  
since  the  basic  PDP 11
only had  24Kb  of memory.  http://www.cs.bell-labs.com/who/dmr/hist.html

For current 8 bit wide machines  you have a lot of software but most of  
looks to be cross
development  stuff.  That is my complaint but I can understand it since 
windows and macs and
unix came to take the majority of the software used.
