Hello Patrick,

Offhand, I would guess that the effort is at least comparable to other effo=
rts
to modernize GCC internals, e.g.
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D92729 , so a comparable boun=
ty is
likely needed.

But perhaps someone who is more knowledgeable about GCC internals can provi=
de a
better estimate.

Thank you!=
