[FreeVMS] building 0.3.13

[Fausto Saporito]

ok first results in a x86_64 environment.

Until now I tried to compile things in a 32bits environment. In such  
env there's no distinction between gcc3 and gcc4 (from the script  
point of view).
This means fault in grub compiling.

In a 64bit env, I noticed the first incompatibility with Ubuntu 9.04,  
envscript tries to use gcc-3.3 (running envscript under 32bit with  
only gcc4 installed didn't generate any error): unfortunately there's  
no gcc-3.3 shipped with 9.04 only gcc-3.4 and I read about a bug (in  
BUGS file) with gcc-3.4 and a certain function in the kernel.

So I think we are forced, at the moment, to use 8.04

Anyway reading other messages, I understood that now the main devel  
tree is only 64bit, correct? So I'll continue with this env.
