If work plans hold, I will be able to test gfortran on amd64/FreeBSD
in a few weeks. I believe Andrew Pinski has been testing gfortran
on PPC/darwin. Paul's working on the ARM architecture. Paul do you
test gfortran on ARM?

I think c99-functions.c will have to grow several functions. ISTR,
a bug report that the sinf() and friend functions where missing on
Tru64. We may have to do
#ifndef HAVE_SINF
float sinf(float x)
{
return (float) sin((double) x);
}
#end if

While worrying about supporting as many CPU/OS combinations is
important, I think one of our more important goals is finishing
g77 compatibility support over the next 6 month. There is a
installed g77 user base, and we shouldn't alienate that user base.
