[I apologize beforehand for being completely out of context.]

Are there fundamental reasons for not re-using the gcc backends for native
code generation? I'm thinking of the (im?)possibility to convert the cps to
some of the intermediate languages of gcc.

If it wouldn't cause bad constraints the obvious gain is the many targets
(for free), the gcc optimizations, not having to maintain backends and free
future development.

Of course, there's the practical problem that gcc needs to be adapted for
this kind of use---but shouldn't it be adapted that way anyway? :)

Just an (old) idea...

Mikael
