Comment (by artyomtnk@…):

 > This looks like non trivial patch.

 It is mostly ifdef VMS do strange stuff rather than change the original
 code. So for most users it would be transparent.

 > Is this still required for the later version of this compiler?

 It is still the latest version of this compiler (yes after two years)

 Also most of the stuff is not about compiler but rather API like
 missing 64 bit version of `putenv` or ptrdiff_t/size_t being 4 bytes
 instead of 8 (!)

 > Can you provide patch against latest trunk?

 The patch fails?

 If it does not suit the trunk I need to spend some time on this.
