I wasn't thinking so much of gas being the normal assembler, though (GNU)
ld would make a quite nice linker, I should think, since it already has a
large part of the hard work done.
I was more thinking of it as a first step to letting gcc tarket the PVM.

Hm. When we figure out the ABI for calls between routines of different
opcode tables, we'll have to teach it to gcc.
I can see this as a big, big win. I can also see this as being bigger
then I can handle, but a damm nice project.
