Has anybody tried porting PostgreSQL to a "stack machine" or
"accumulator machine"?

More specifically, how specialized is the source code in PostgreSQL,
would it be possible to port the PostgreSQL source to a older version of
GCC? There are some stack and accumulator based machines that contain
stripped down versions of GCC, so I am trying to figure out if I should
attempt to port the source or if its not possible.

Uh, we use ANSI C and I don't remember us doing anything special that
would cause you problems.
