I tried for a short time and freedman@mit.edu also tried for a longer time.
I could get the garbage collector to compile but it didn't pass its tests.
I also tried compiling other portions but discovered they relied on lots
of Ultrix specific features for signal handling, etc.  In other words, 
as far as I know no one has done a PCLU port to Linux.
