Interesting stuff.
The SoC stuff seems overly ambitious.
The MinGW stuff looks good though.
Question : how does the MinGW gcc relate to "main" gcc ? Gcc 4.3.1 is
out since June. Is the MinGW 4.3.1 a ported and improved version that we
should wait for and base our further work on ?
Given the fact that the same person who is doing the SoC assignment is
also the MinGW GCC maintainer, I'd say there might be planning issues.
