Burroughs does not have a modern C compiler. As far as modern C standards go, the Burroughs architecture does not exist.
The same is true for the rest of the oddball stuff. It's dead now. Nobody is even trying. There is no longer any reason to make the C standard nasty in order to support these systems. The plug should have been pulled on them long ago, when they were well under 1% of the market and declining, but now they are nothing. No standards-conforming compiler supports that old stuff.
Even back at 1%, hurting everybody to support that stuff was not worthwhile. It was a terrible trade-off to make.
