I'm quite interested in this. However, would you be willing to base your
work on the either the FreeBSD gcc-devel port, or on the GCC "head"
branch snapshot? I am pretty sure major additions like this would not be
accepted by Cygnus/GCC in the 2.95.x branch. And I don't look forward to
trying to port such stuff to the newer GCC code base, which is where the
future is.

There have been some thread configuration changes in the GCC development
branch. I should have an updated ``gcc-devel'' port working and
committed within the week.
