Right. I found that out in the mean time with good-old grep. There are many targets with C_TARGET_OBJS and CXX_TARGET_OBJS, and one target with FORTRAN_TARGET_OBJS (which should be turned into targetcm hooks, I think). > And such files shouldn't really be using RTL > themselves.

Yes, and it looks like for the most part the dependencies on back-end code are false (just like for the front ends) but some appear to be real. I will first do this for the primary targets and then look at the rest. I could use some help with that... Just means the banishing of RTL from the front ends will have to wait a little bit longer. Ciao! Steven
