Perhaps this is a bit naive, but here goes:

	Can I use gcc's back-end to optimize assembler programs?

Possibly, assembler code could be transformed into RTL,
then gcc could read that, and proceed as if it came from
the expansion of a syntax tree.

Are gcc's machine descriptions `invertible', i. e. can they be
used to automatically generate .rtl from .s?

Can I make the gcc back-end _start_ at a certain stage 
of the compilation?  Something like:
	gcc -dr foo.c;  gcc --start-with-r foo.c.rtl

By the way, is such a foo.c.rtl fully self-contained?

Has someone already done such things? How much work would it require?
Would it be worth it?

Thanks for any pointers,
