Hi,
I'm designing a RISC CPU for fun, and wanted to know how difficult it
would be to port a compiler like gcc to generate code (non-optimized is
fine) for my machine? I'm ignorant of compilers, but can learn .. I'd just
like to assess how difficult it would be.


Thanks
[One RISC is pretty much like another for a straightforward code generator,
so I'd think you should be able to get a limping version of lcc in a week
or two. -John]
