Hi,

Would you mind including support for the LatticeMico32 soft processor in
the upcoming GCC 4.5 series?

We at Milkymist [1] develop a free system-on-chip design [2] that uses the
Mico32 processor and having out-of-the box Mico32 support in GCC would help
software development on this free SoC platform.

Support for Mico32 is already included in recent binutils releases.

A patch [3] was submitted to the GCC mailing list last December, that we
are currently using with GCC 4.4. It seems pretty stable as it allows us to
compile a working Linux kernel [4].

Looking forward to your positive answer,
Sébastien Bourdeauducq
