That depends from release to release. For GCC 3.4 you can find the
list on http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-3.4/criteria.html under the header
"Platform Support". Same for GCC 3.3 and earlier.
(Interesting nit: The criteria for GCC 3.4 are still only a draft
according to that page ;-)).
There are no documented GCC 4.0.0 Release Criteria yet, and I don't
know who is responsible for proposing the criteria and approving them.
Until somebody proposes something I suppose the "primary targets" are
just those which are the most important historically or from the point
of view of the majority of the contributors (x86*-linux, MIPS, HPPA,
powerpc*, HPPA, maybe Alpha, maybe ARM, at least one *BSD target, ...).
Gr.
Steven
