There's support for sh-pe (Portable Executable, the binary format used in Windows) in binutils and gcc already. I don't think it has been much used since 2001 or so, when it was originally added, so you're likely to find bit rot, as we had found in the ARM support a few years ago. But, given that the base support is there , and that there a bunch of stuff that could be reused from the arm port, it shouldn't be an impossible job. This actually reinforces that Windows targets support bits in gcc should be shared across architectures (they aren't today, it was a copy paste originally, hence the bit rot). -- Pedro Alves ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ Cegcc-devel mailing list Cegcc-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/cegcc-devel
