Hi Michael,

Do you have an old build of that compiler? If so you may be able to just move your old vxWorks build tree to the new Linux machine without recompiling it. I just tested running our vxWorks 5.4.2 compiler (gcc 2.96) on our new 64-bit Centos 7 system and it seems to work OK.

If you don't have a built system I could send you a tar ball of ours.
