I'm scoping out a potential project which might well end up using one of
the embedded RICS processors currently on the market.  Three that have
come to my attention are Sparc (from Fujitsu), Mips (LSI), and the ARM.

Now we'd like to use the GNU tools in a cross development environment,
but there's the issue of how to finish compiling the code: the current
version of the GNU assembler (gas) only supports the Sparc instruction
set, not the other two.

So I thought I'd ask what the current plans for gas are: is a new
version forthcoming soon, and if so, what's likely to be added
in terms of new processors, object file formats, etc?  There hasn't
been a revision to gas since Jan, 1991.

How about the loader - are the 2.0 binutils due any time soon?
They've been at the beta level (1.94) since December...

Thanks for any input.
