There enough to build kernels, static binaries, ...  The linker is really
the problem.  First, we would need the processor/os specific ELF
specification.  The handling of function pointers is another key part
as it affects how shared libraries are implemented and the dynamic loader.

I don't see the gcc issues as major as we have the code generation part
pretty much under control.
