It isn't a test you have to run. While that is necessary, that isn't
sufficient. Besides running the entire testsuite for all the tools
(gcc, g++, objc, libstdc++, libio, ld, as, and so on), you also have
to port the software and make it work and fix all the bugs that are
found by the testsuites. After you do that, then you have to read the
bug reports on the bugs list, and fix them all that apply to the
machine, after you do this for 6 months, then in the next release,
we'd be happy to say that gcc officially supports whatever platform
you want. Implicit in that, is that you have to actually get all the
work you have done into the cvs tree for gcc.
We look forward to all the help you would like to donate.
