I am enclosing 2 patches here.  One only affects Linux/x86
and the other covers all targets.  I tested both versions on
Linux/x86 without any regressions.  Since I only got OK from
one target maintainer and I have been pinging on this patch
for more than 6 months, I'd like to get it enabled for Linux/x86
soon.

Uros, can I check in Linux/x86 version if there are no full feedbacks
from the rest of target maintainers for more than 48hours.  We can
enable other targets on a target by target basis later.

Thanks.

Sorry, but I don't feel confident enough to review the patch in this
part of the compiler. I would prefer if somebody else approves it.

Uros.

Hi Ian,

I'd like to get this issue resolved, at least for Linux/x86. Can you
recommend how I should proceed?

Thanks.
