<---- gcc-3.0.tar.gz ---->
gcs-3.0/configure
it picks up information from the various languages front-ends
and builds Makefile that will build them all. It checks
whether the bkend
...
I think this is more or less what Kenner is already planning.
Whether the back end files are at top level
or in a subdirectory called bkend or backend
doesn't seem like a major issue to me; either way is probably ok.
<---- gcs-c.3.0.tar.gz ---->
The C front end can be in a separate subdirectory,
but it has to be in the base tar file.
Everyone needs to build the C front end
so as to be able to bootstrap.
And cpp is needed for multiple languages
(at least C++ and Objective C, but maybe others),
so it has to be in the base tar file too.
Renaming GCC to GCS might be a good idea, since it is not
just a C compiler any more.
