Well, with this description it would seem that you could directly
convert CW asms into GCC asms, and thus you would have no impact
on anything outside the parser. With that as a premise, I have no
objection (as a backend guy) to CW support being added to the FSF
compiler.
If it is really true that only the parser would have to change, then
it seems to me that CW asm could be converted into gcc asm using a
separate tool which simply rewrote the file. It would have to do
simple C/C++ parsing, but I think not full parsing. Such a tool would
be useful as a conversion aid, and with some specs hackery could also
be invoked directly by the Darwin compiler.
