I hope to change GCC in the future to support this system, but I don't
have time to do most of the work.  If you want to help me do this,
please work out a set of changes that I could safely install.

In particular, this means you must avoid making changes that would
break GCC on other systems.  Deleting important code from gstdarg.h is
a no-no; likewise, changing libgcc2.c to use stdarg.h instead of
gstdard.h is simply unacceptable.  (libgcc2.c is compiled with the GCC
version being built, and using the system's original stdarg.h file
will certainly do the wrongthing on other systems.)

Yes, this is more effort than it would take to think only about your
own system.  But it is the only way that the GCC distribution can be
fixed to handle a new system.  Short cuts don't produce a result that
really contributes to progress.


I recommend reading the chapter on Bugs in the GCC manual for advice
on how to send in changes to GCC.  It has been considerably improved
in version 2.2.
