           Summary: tree optimizer and frontend files use target macros
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.6.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: other
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: amylaar@gcc.gnu.org
            Blocks: 44566


As mentioned in comment #2 of PR44566, there are many target macros used
outside
of the RTL passes.  In order to build a multi-target core compiler, we want
to convert all macro uses in non-rtl centric source files to hooks.
