    I realize you're not contributing this port now, but...

I agree with most of your comments, except ...

    why the hell can't this code be compiled with gcc?  (the alpha-vms port
    has the same problem)

The file says why, but I'm not totally sure I understand the comment: I
suspect DEC C special-cases the call in question.

    this also interferes with cross compiler use

Right.  There are numerous host/target confusions in a lot of the VMS stuff
that need to be fixed before the port can be considered finished.
