[Jan Beulich]

Hello,

we'd like to start the process of integrating the port to our new OS,
Modesto (running on ia64, ix86 and x86-64 currently), as a target for
several of the GNU packages (currently binutils, gcc, and perhaps soon
gdb). While I tried to read through the documentation on the web it is
not exactly clear how this is going to work for each of these
components, who to communicate with, and what 'paper'work will be
required.

Any directions would be very welcome,

For GCC, the most important piece of documentation to start with probably
is <http://gcc.gnu.org/contribute.html> and the pages linked from there.

As far as I know the procedures for binutils and GDB are relatively
similar to GCC.

Before we can accept your code for inclusion in GCC (and the other GNU
packages), we need a copyright assignment. The default one is the form
I include below, but there are also other options available.

Should you have further questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

How do I get started writing a code generator for a target not currently 
supported by GCC?
Thanks

If someone submits it with proper paperwork, then we'll review it
just like other submissions.

Hiho!

Is it planned to add the m68k-palmos target to the mainline tree?
