Ok. The issue is that users frequently ask whether a certain platform
is "supported" (they usually use that term). If there is agreement
that there are *no* supported platforms in GCC, then I'll make a FAQ
entry in this regard.

We already have

http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-2.95/buildstat.html

for the list of platforms that people think the compiler works on.  I
wanted to create a list of platforms with email addresses to contact
when users have problems. We cannot provide that kind of support for
all platforms, but I think we'll find volunteers to contact for
platform-specific problems for some of them.
