There is a patch for binutils-2.7 available from
www.elec.canterbury.ac.nz/c4x.  I do have patches against the latest
binutils source tree but there is a small problem I've yet to resolve.
There are some nasty hacks in these patches to support the fact that
the smallest addressable unit is 32 bits.

However, Timothy Wall (twall@tiac.net) is currently tidying up support
for TI COFF in the binutils and modifying the BFD stuff to properly
handle cases where bits per addressable unit is not 8.

Patches to allow parallel instructions and repeat blocks can be also
found on www.elec.canterbury.ac.nz/c4x.  These patches won't be
included in gcc-2.95.1.
