Hello

Sure, what is the name of the backend you would like to enable?

Cheers

Please enable the experimental Xtensa backend in LLVM 16 and newer and
make a new upload to experimental.

A lot of prominent firmware, including free firmware such as my open-
ath9k-htc-firmware package, requires an Xtensa cross toolchain. Using
GCC is a pain because the compiler has to be custom-tailored to the
target, and in ath9k_htc we do this with patches that inevitably get
out-of-date.

We are taking a bold step by enabling a backend deemed experimental, but
it's necessary to advance free software.

This will also be helpful should anyone wish to build Intel's open sound
firmware too (although on most machines that enforces a digital
signature check to my understanding).
