Is this supposed to be for gcc/binutils, or is it supposed to be processor-independent? And why a closed list? Please don't go down the path of re-creating what we rebelled against when we started egcs. Also, if there's a need to crosspost a message betwen your new list and a gcc or binutils list, the message will bounce. If it is for the free toolchain, and you really feel that a new list is needed because it crosses gcc/binutils boundaries, a new list hosted off of gcc.gnu.org would be better than a list that is polluted with Yahoo's ads.
