I am trying to install the lcc C compiler (version 3.3) on
FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 + patches.  I used the linux backend available at
ftp://ftp.cs.princeton.edu/pub/lcc/contrib/linux.tar.gz

After changing some of the paths in the setup, I got it to halfway
work.  It will compile simple c files such as "hello world", but the
assembler will break an assertion for any non-trivial program.

I searched through the mailing list archives and lcc appears to have
been ported to FreeBSD.  One of the articles even mentions that the
lcc backend for linux is basically a FreeBSD backend that had been
posted to the lcc mailing list.

Is the FreeBSD backend available somewhere?

thanks,
