The new Integrated Register Allocator is now in GCC trunk, and the old
allocator is scheduled for removal on or shortly after 25 September. All
GCC targets need updating for the new allocator; targets that have not
been updated when the old allocator is removed will no longer work and
will be added to the deprecation list for GCC 4.4. (After that date
target maintainers may remove their targets from the deprecation list as
part of the patches updating them for the new allocator; any remaining
unconverted targets will be removed from trunk after GCC 4.4 branches
along with the other targets deprecated in 4.4.)
I have a patch for Xtensa but I'm still tracking down a problem related to the
IRA code. I'm sure I'll get it sorted out soon.
