what are the "primary targets" for GCC?

ok, that page seems like what I want.
The only noted difference between 3.3 and 3.4 seems to be the AIX target 
which has been bumped up for 3.4 (presumably because a new version of AIX 
appeared)

I wonder why apple (i.e. OSX/darwin) is not a primary platform for GCC 
(given that GCC is the primary compiler for that plaform).
I guess it is because apple keeps a local branch of GCC with all sorts of 
apple fixes in them.

Personally, I would love to see the win32 GCC (mingw) target be given a 
higher priority (although that would rely on the mingw team being more 
perpared to keep things going) as this target is (AFAIK) the best currently 
available option as far as a free as in speech compiler for the windows 
platform goes.
