I’m targeting forward porting the “interesting” FreeBSD specific gcc to 4.8 and 4.9, and then working out the uber-ugly bootstrap we need to do if we are going to support building the tree from scratch with it. “Interesting” doesn’t include: new instruction support, apple changes, etc. Someone else will need to do that. The former isn’t that big a deal, since we mostly back ported that stuff. The latter was added after I started this project and I decided IDGAS about that functionality and it would be a distraction to the main thrust of the project. I’m happy of SEGAS on it though.
