<h2 id="targets">New Targets and Target Specific Improvements</h2>
+<h3 id="avr">AVR</h3>
+<ul>
+ <li>
+ Support for the "Embedded C" fixed-point has been
+ added. For details, see the
+ <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/avr-gcc#Fixed-Point_Support">
+ GCC wiki</a> and the
+ <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Fixed_002dPoint.html">
+ user manual</a>. The support is not complete.
+ </li>
+ <li>A new print modifier <code>%r</code> for register operands in inline
+ assembler is supported. It will print the raw register number without the
+ register prefix '<code>r</code>':
+ <pre>
+ /* Return the most significant byte of 'val', a 64-bit value. */
+
+ unsigned char msb (long long val)
+ {
+ unsigned char c;
+ __asm__ ("mov %0, %r1+7" : "=r" (c) : "r" (val));
+ return c;
+ }</pre>
+ The inline assembler in this example will generate code like
+ <pre>
+ mov r24, 8+7</pre>
+ provided <code>c</code> is allocated to <code>R24</code> and
+ <code>val</code> is allocated to
+ <code>R8</code>…<code>R15</code>. This works because
+ the GNU assembler accepts plain register numbers without register prefix.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Static initializers with 3-byte symbols are supported now:
+ <pre>
+ extern const __memx char foo;
+ const __memx void *pfoo = &foo;</pre>
+ This requires at least Binutils 2.23.
+ </li>
+</ul>
+
<h3>IA-32/x86-64</h3>
<ul>
<li>Allow <code>-mpreferred-stack-boundary=3</code> for the x86-64
