     Hi....

	I'm writing a PowerPC backend to a compiler, here at UofT, and I
desperately need to contact anyone who knows those who worked on the PowerPC
backend to gcc.

	I'm planning to do my development on a 604 based processor running
AIX. What I'm lacking so far is documentation that deal with AIX from a 
code developers point of view. I need AIX's register usage conventions,
how it aligns structures and the like. I've tried to find documentation without
success. I'd appreicate anyone (even if its a vague guess - anything helps)
suggesting books that deal with this specific matter.

	If someone here worked on the PPC backend for gcc, *please* tell me
what books/manuals you used to do the development. Its very urgent. 

				Best Regards,
				   Damien.
