With only a few [ring zero privilege] exceptions, all pre-2.0 PA-RISC code
*is* 2.0 code, since 2.0 is upwards compatible with all of what has come
before (there are MPE systems in production with PA-RISC 2.0 processors).

So the short answer is that *all* MPE native mode compilers are capable of
generating PA-RISC 2.0 object code if you want to look at it that way.
