Political issues aside, have you considered contributing support
to LLVM instead?
It currently doesn't even support ARMv4 AFAIK but reportedly
has an easier to use and maintain back-end. (I do not know if
this is true, I just browsed this:
https://llvm.org/docs/WritingAnLLVMBackend.html )
Current ARM Targets are here:
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/tree/main/llvm/lib/Target/ARM
And they have a very clear and straight-forward developer policy:
https://llvm.org/docs/DeveloperPolicy.html
If ARMv4 support could be added to LLVM, that would solve
a lot of my headaches for ARM32, where we have things like
SA110 being actively maintained.
Yours,
Linus Walleij
