Leon is a conforming implementation of the SPARC V7/V8 architecture so it
should be possible to support it alongside the other SPARC implementations in
the SPARC back-end of the mainline compiler. I'd be happy to review patches
to this effect (and I presume the other SPARC maintainers are OK with this).
So I'd suggest that Luís Vitório and/or Konrad do the required paperwork, and
then start to post their patches on the gcc-patches@ list. I'll sponsor them
for write access at that point.
