I'd also like to see the "target" category sub-divided into target-<cpu> 
(where, say, cpu is the name of the directory in gcc/config).  This would 
enable me to find reports for the ARM in a much more reliable manner (at 
present a gnats search for the string "arm" returns about 9 false matches 
for every true one (since it finds things like "parm").

Yes, we get mis-categorized reports, but it isn't a major task to 
recategorize a report.
