It requires more or less a complete port (the amount of work depending on how
divergent the ABI and/or ISA is/are from the ones currently supported by GCC).
We haven't begun to poke at this seriously yet.
Using the assembler / linker from LLVM upstream or Xcode is presumably possible
(in the same way that we can for X86 and PPC).
As Andrew says, it's a (IMO very) significant undertaking; to get a port into
GCC11 would require the work to be complete and accepted by ≈ Dec 2020.
Ideally, someone would work on it full-time for their day job to achieve that
;)
(of course, that won't stop us trying - but you should set expectations
realistically - spare time work is unlikely to achieve GCC11)
