Thank you very much!

You might be referring to the MMIX port or not. I was under the
distinct impression that adding a port is an SC issue, since the
SC was involved in deciding about the CRIS port (see
<URL:http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2001-10/msg00705.html>) and
apparently Gerald thought so too. It seems logical, because
maintainership is supposedly an SC issue (right?).
Again, thanks for reviewing!
I'll start committing after a final round of before/after
bootstrap on i686-pc-linux-gnu.
