Probably true, if there are no problems with copyright assignments
etc. For example the gcc port to the MC68HC11 could not be merged
because of assignment problems. Anybody interested in doing this
should contact the egcs maintainers, http://egcs.cygnus.com, to find
out what would be involved. A Cygnus port of eCos to this architecture
is not currently under consideration, so it is unlikely that we will
do this work any time soon.

Not necessarily, http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html
gives a different opinion.
