Removed support for legacy HP9000 and SPARC systems from the garbage collector file gc_lib.c
Closed this task again.

Re-opened, as I noticed that not all remnants of previously supported systems were really removed.

OS/2 and Macinstosh were removed.  After some research I decided to retain DOS (for now...), as quite a few single board computers are still operated with DR-DOS or an open source derivative thereof.

Looking at SYSTEM_TOOLS.system_list it seems to me that the following could be up for removal:

  • os2
  • dos
  • macintosh

as of now, support for Amiga and Elate are removed.  What more can be dropped ?

Raspberry PI is just "Linux on ARM" which can be fully satisfied by Linux/GCC (or any other C compiler running on linux)...

This class and this header file seem to reflect many obsolete computer systems and -compilers.

We need to take a step back and look at structure and design; discard old systems and compilers and add new platforms/compilers like Win-64 and others (Raspberry PI comes to mind...)

Please remark with suggestions about what platforms/compilers can finally be put to rest....
