I'm not sure.

I think the Debian people are currently planning to compile their binaries 
with -march=armv3 (which is the EGCS default).  So you should be OK in that 
respect.

All I can suggest there is that you dive into the code and have a go.  The 
compiler isn't really all that frightening so long as you don't try to 
understand it all at once.  Everything you need for this hack should be 
contained in the ARM back end.
