Has anybody spoken up about this yet? I'm willing to have a go at this
at home (i386-linux-gnu). I've got a tolerable amount of experience
with both the front end (GPC - 2 years ago) and the back end (big endian
i860 - recent, but not released because I was having reload problems),
so something like this shouldn't be too hard.
