if the

in the
assembler also. If support is there then it should be plain

I don't follow development of the GNU toolchain for Windows,
but so
far as I know it isn't... yet.
We (LDC) use the GNU as on MinGW as well, as the LLVM integrated
assembler doesn't support emitting the Dwarf EH tables into COFF
files yet. So, you should be good to go in theory, although the
target config handling code you mentioned might also need some
adaption – I haven't really looked at that part of GCC at all yet.
