      Yes, you should write a machine description in the subdirectory
config/[your_machine_name]. You will find all the necessary documentation at
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc_toc.html . The most interesting file for
you will
probably be http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc_16.html . When you start
writing your
machine description, I recommend that you take a look in the config/
subdirectory at how the things are done for other (more or less similar)
architectures.

      Regards,
           Virgil.
