Is anyone else working in this area? Has anyone expressed any possibility at adding a few more comments to the riscv-gen code? Well, what can I say. Sure, comments might be nice, if they clarify things :) Are there any landmines I may run into? Not that I know of, it's all fairly straight forward. I have tested the riscv64 backend only relatively lightly, and am not sure if others have played much with it, so it's quite possible you run into genuine bugs therein. How eager would people be to add a -m32 flag for RISC-V? I'd suggest going the same way as i386/x86-64, i.e. create a riscv32-tcc compiler, which can then be called from tcc when -m32 is used. Supporting both bit-width in the same executable will run into major refactoring work as several types are hard-coded (e.g. the whole ELF support isn't conditionalized at runtime per word width).
