That was in fact going to be my request. If I get to pick, IA32/x86_64
should be one, and something RISCy for the other; SPARC, PowerPC,
Itanium, MIPS, etc. If a bootstrap is inconvenient, a cross-compiler
and regression-testing in simulation would work for me.
I'm inclined to take the patch, given that wrong-code bugs are bad, and
wrong-code bugs in SPEC are worse, given how many people evaluate by
running SPEC, but I do want to be cautious, given the size of the patch.
