Um, I think you're missing the whole point of writing a gcc frontend. A gcc frontend generates GENERIC, it shouldn't need to know or care about assembly. If you already have a whatever->C compiler it should be relatively simple[1] to turn it into a GCC frontend. Paul [1] Obviously interfacing with gcc isn't trivial, but it's a sight easier than generating assembly for N+1 targets.
