By re-targeting, do you mean getting ORCA/C to run on other platforms 
(as a cross compiler) or getting it to generate code for other 
platforms?

If you mean getting it to run on modern platforms as a cross compiler, 
Kelvin Sherlock and I have both investigated that to some extent, but I 
don't think either of us has produced a fully working version.  I'm not 
really working on a cross-compiler version at the moment, but it is 
something that would be interesting to do.  If you or someone else 
wanted to seriously work on that, I'd suggest setting up a separate 
branch within the Git repository, so that development on the 
cross-compiler version could proceed in parallel to the existing 
IIGS-native version.

It you mean getting it to generate code for other platforms, I'm not 
aware of anyone who has worked on that.  It's theoretically possible, 
since ORCA/C uses an intermediate representation that could potentially 
be compiled down to code for other processors, but in practice you'd 
likely be better off working with another compiler framework that's 
designed to support multiple targets.
