@vathpela@mcc thanks again for stepping in so I wasn't spreading around false claims. I still think the whole scheme sounds confusing and dubious, but now at least I know where to go to do research to understand it better in the future!
@glyph@mcc Also worth keeping in mind that this was like 25 years ago, I didn't work in that part of the company (or indeed for Cygnus ever), I've never paid someone to write a compiler port for me, and it would be remarkable if I didn't have at least some part of this history wrong ;)
