Hmmm.
I once thought about trying to do an fpc compiler for a not yet
supported arch, and I still am interested in having (AKA contributing to
such an effort) an "up to date" fpc compiler for as well 68K as PIC32
(AFAIK identical to a certain version of MIPS32). I doubt that I would
even be able to start, unless an up-to-date documentation of the
appropriate parts of the docu is available.
The big picture which could be documented is the easy part. But such a
document can never cover all details and the details are the hairy part.
Like certain properties of the target architecture might be special and
not yet covered by the compiler thus they cannot be documented. They are
the challenging and time consuming part when adding a new architecture.
