I have now reviewed the suggestions. Here is the mail that I plan to
recommend to the SC. (Of course, I can't guarantee what the SC will do
with it.) I've tried to take into account most of the feedback.
However, I've tried to note all of these suggestions in my draft mail so
that the SC will see all of the ideas, even those with which I don't
agree. Please let me know if your recommendation isn't reflected in
this mail, either in the "Recommendations" or in the "Other Suggestions"
section -- that means that I unintentionally overlooked it. And, if you
would like to address the SC directly, please let me know and I will be
happy to pass along your message.
Recommendations
===============
I think that we should update the list of primary and secondary
platforms for GCC 4.3. This section has my personal recommendations,
based on feedback from the GCC developer mailing list. In the next
section are other suggestions that I received, but which I don't
personally endorse.
Primary Platforms
-----------------
* arm-eabi
* i386-unknown-freebsd
* i686-pc-linux-gnu
* i686-apple-darwin
* mipsisa64-elf
* powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu
* sparc-sun-solaris2.10
* x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
Secondary Platforms
-------------------
* hppa2.0w-hp-hpux11.23
* powerpc-ibm-aix5.2.0.0
* powerpc-apple-darwin
* i686-pc-cygwin
* i686-mingw32
* ia64-unknown-linux-gnu
Other Suggestions
=================
Here are the suggestions that I'm not endorsing personally, but which I
would like to pass along:
* AVR as a secondary target
* Replace the MIPS "bare metal" platform with a GNU/Linux platform.
* Make both Intel and PowerPC Darwin primary platforms.
