i?86-pc-windows agian?


Recently, I have been looking at old GCCs' code. When I looked at 
the directory listing for gcc (or was it egcs?) 1.39. I was 
astonished:

-rw-r--r--  1 sam sam 5730 Feb 22  1989 masm386.c

It was actual subroutines for insn-output.c to produce MASM 
assembler syntax! Compiling it lead to lots of syntax errors. If 
that could be fixed and changed to be compatible with the modern 
insn-output.c, the i?86-pc-windows port using MASM might just be 
feasible. Sadly, in 2.0 the file dissapeared! But, I whipped up an 
old gcc 1.36, and that compile worked fine except for a missing 
masm-lib.h. Is that enough to reconsider that port?
