Is there any interest in supporting the ECMA instruction 
set?

I think it would be real cool to build  ECMA executables, 
even if the other aspect of the common language runtim (aka Microsoft Commone 
Language runtime).  gcc produced executables would target gnu/linux 
interfaces as normal rathar than the Microsoft Common Langauge Runtime), and 
some sort of jit would be required.  This would really simplify the 
distribution of binaries. 
 
On my computer I would only need to install the jit in native 
code.  Other gnu binaries could be retrieved in ecma 
format. 
 
I don't think MS would be too pleased with the application, 
but it would be cool.
