Leon is a conforming implementation of the SPARC V7/V8 architecture so it should be possible to support it alongside the other SPARC implementations in the SPARC back-end of the mainline compiler. I'd be happy to review patches to this effect (and I presume the other SPARC maintainers are OK with this). So I'd suggest that Luís Vitório and/or Konrad do the required paperwork, and then start to post their patches on the gcc-patches@ list. I'll sponsor them for write access at that point. -- Eric Botcazou
