common problems porting to a new architecture, including changes you

<p><b>Porting to a new architecture:</b> If you are porting the new front-end
to a new architecture, or compiling in a different configuration that we have
previously, there are probably several changes you will have to make to the GCC
target to get it to work correctly. These include:<p>
<ul>
<li>Munge linker flags so they are compatible with <tt>gccld</tt>.</li>
<li>Change the target so it doesn't have long double; just use double
instead.</li>
<li>No inline assembly for position independent code.</li>
<li>We handle init and fini differently.</li>
<li>Do not include inline assembly map things for SPARC, or profile
things.</li>
<li>Often targets include special or assembler linker flags which
<tt>gccas</tt>/<tt>gccld</tt> does not understand. In general, these can
just be removed.</li>
<li>LLVM currently does not support any floating point values other than
32-bit and 64-bit IEEE floating point. The primary effect of this is
that you may have to map "long double" onto "double".</li>
<li>The profiling hooks in GCC do not apply at all to the LLVM front-end.
These may need to be disabled.</li>
<li>No inline assembly for position independent code. At the LLVM level,
everything is position independent.</li>
<li>We handle <tt>.init</tt> and <tt>.fini</tt> differently.</li>
<li>Did we mention that we don't support inline assembly? You'll probably
have to add some fixinclude hacks to disable it in the system
headers.</li>
