Why?  The VAX architecture was discontinued sixteen years ago.  If you succeed it will take days and days to do the build.  There have been an increasing number of features that won’t work right on an ODS-2 disk.  So, it’s an uphill battle, and not worth the effort when you can get an Alpha emulator or a cheap Itanium on eBay.

> After getting past a few issues that prevented the build from proceeding (CONFIGURE.COM, DESCRIP_MMS.TEMPLATE, and MAKFILE.PL in DYNALOADER needed some changes).  I’m now at the point where MD5 is compiling and though it shows CPU time being takeng up, there is no I/O occurring and the compilation never returns.  The compile I’m using is Compaq (DEC) C V6.4.  Has anyone else had this issue?  I’m not sure how to best debug it.  Any help would be appreciated.

The optimizer on that old compiler gets confused but compiling with /Optimize=(NODISJOINT) has been reported to do the trick.

There is a patch to do that here in this ticket:
