Hi, GCC reviewers and developers,

Thanks for all the comments to the original patches [1], and
thanks GCC Steering Committee for accepting nds32 port contribution [2].
However, the initial patch still needs approval from a global maintainer
before it may be committed.

Based on the review comments previously:

we have posted revised patches on gcc-patches:

[PATCH 6/6] Andes nds32: wwwdoc for nds32 target.
  http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2013-07/msg00277.html


We also have up-to-date status of doing bootstrap and testing
with current GCC trunk:

1. Using a native compiler from current GCC trunk (20130724, Rev.201200),
   the nds32 port can be built cleanly with --enable-werror-always
   on both 32-bit and 64-bit host.

2. The up-to-date nds32 testing results (Results for GCC 4.9.0 20130723)
   have been posted on gcc-testresults:
   32-bit host:
     v2, http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2013-07/msg02146.html
     v3, http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2013-07/msg02147.html
   64-bit host:
     v2, http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2013-07/msg02148.html
     v3, http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2013-07/msg02149.html


Thank you for your time reviewing our patches.
Your review comments make our initial patches better quality for GCC.
