Did anybody run GNU Pascal on EBCDIC platform yet?
GCC only supports ASCII platforms, and it's quite unlikely this will ever change. (After all, EBCDIC is still proprietary and secret outside of IBM, AFAIK, so it might not even be possible to support it.)
OK, but let's document that in some fairly prominent place. AFAIK this limitation does not apply to gcc.
