certainly include it in the deprecations; otherwise, all vax

there.
My understanding is that NetBSD port to the vax is very much alive and
maintained. Thus, I expect that those users (eg Matt Thomas) would
like
to see the GCC port retained.
We would. I have gcc working with gcc4.3 but gcc's use mpfr/gmp has
made
native test impossible since neither work on vax/elf. I don't have time
to make them work.
