I'm glad to hear about this effort.
I want to make sure that you are aware of the ongoing LTO effort to
implement whole program optimization. There is some more information
available here:
http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/LinkTimeOptimization
If you want to get your changes into mainline gcc, then it would be
best if you were able to work within this framework.
Thanks!
Ian
