There is no simple answer.  Though I would tend to wait until #2 or #3
before asking to include the port in GCC, though discussing issues as
you deal with problems in #1 and #2 on the lists is strongly recommended.

That's typically how we do things inside Cygnus for new ports -- once the
port is generating code we tend to check it in, then checkin incremental
changes on top of that as we progress from #2 to #3.  We discuss issues on
our lists throughout the process.
