Shouldn't the runtime code be moved out into a separate directory, in the same way as other runtime code is (libstdc++, libjava, libobc ...). Not only would this make it clearer what was part of the compiler and what was part of the run-time, but it would also be a step on the road to providing multi-lib support.
