Because I created (canadian method) Gnat Ada (on gcc) for VMS Itanium, and because we were on gcc 4.7, there is some work ahead, but why not :)
 The big issue is the step to gcc 5, where they upgraded to c++ mode. It is one of the reasons why Adacore didn't continue support of gnat ada on VMS in 2015.

VMS x86-64 has a better C++ compiler than VMS Itanium.
But I have no idea which is best for boot strapping:
g++/Linux -> GXX/VMS
clang/VMS -> GXX/VMS
I assume that if a recent GXX/VMS is working then getting
GFortran and Gnat working would become a lot easier.
But obviously a lot of work. And I do not expect it to happen. Just
a thought given that someone wanted to support GCC/Itanium.
