Yes. sure. But which is harder: targeting gcc/gdb/gas to a closed CPU
architecture, or (after doing that, with a fair knowledge of the
architecture) supporting known (standard multibus/vme) peripherals?
If I could find one, i'd be temted to do it out of perversity.
Just a passing thought, though.

Nixdorf was a big Pyramid reseller in Europe. Nixdorf got subsumed by
Siemens.  Pyramid switched to MIPS cpus around 1990 in any case.
