S/390 as GCC 4.3 secondary plattform?

2006-09-29 Thread Andreas Krebbel
Hello Mark, sorry for tuning in so late to the GCC 4.3 primary/secondary plattform discussion. As you probably expect I'll give a vote for s390-ibm-linux-gnu and s390x-ibm-linux-gnu to be marked as gcc secondary plattforms. I think the s390 back end is in a pretty good shape. The languages c,ad
