PL/I compiler for Linux?

Hello there, I have lately found a book about PL/I that aroused my interest in that language. Now I want to know if there exists a free (as in "costs no money", but free as in "open source" would be even better, of course) compiler for that old language. I have found a project on sourceforge, but it was abandoned at version 0.0.15 at 2007 or so. On another page, I saw a compiler that was advertised for SuSe and Red Hat, but that didn't seem to be free of charge

Does anyone here know a resource for such a compiler?

You can try an Eclipse plugin. I think it's called PLIEDIT.

If you look at the CVS changelog, there was activity last year including an update to work with GCC 4.4. Create a PKGBUILD to checkout the CVS tree and see if it works.
