It seems to be dead as far as I can see.


TenDRA builds with a one-line fix on Linux usually. It checks that
dev_t is an arithmetic type and on newer glibc that is only true for
compilers that support long long, which TenDRA doesn't. The fix is to
remove the check for dev_t being arithmetic in the types.h files.

If you ignore the ANDF/UNCOL part TenDRA is still a widely ported free
C/C++ compiler, and gcc could certainly use some competition in that
area.
