I'm not sure. I think Thomas wants to package all of those changes
together in one big middle end patch. He found a last minute ICE the
other day. Hopefully that won't delay things very long.

That's correct. The nvptx backend also depends on the offloading changes
that a team from Intel is working on for the MIC target. But Julian
should be posting the libgomp patches tomorrow, I think, since his
changes are somewhat self-contained.

Yes, that's correct. I forgot to mention that.
