Right now, http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/extensions.html has a broken link and I'd like to address this if possible. > I coded my own DLX backend for GCC.

I'm not able to approve a change like this (that's left to some others here), but if you'd like to put this up for download somewhere and submit a patch against http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/extensions.html to give it more exposure, that would a very good first step! For details on how to submit a patch against current GCC sources, our page at http://gcc.gnu.org/contribute.html should provide a good overview. Cheers, Gerald
