Well, if we *can* move away from existing uses of attribute ((mode (word))),
in particular in current libgcc headers, without breaking the ABI on any
platform, I'd certainly agree that would be a good thing.  I'm not really
concerned all that much about users of attribute ((mode (word))) outside
of GCC.

OK, good! I think Ian and I are convinced it is very much possible. So, it's just a matter of doing it. Care to volunteer? :-)
