was removed from gcc in its 4.8 release in 2012.I was sad about that, as I had managed to get it working correctly in 4.2 4.3 and 4.4. Unfortunately the GCC ARM maintainer at the time was paid by ARM, and they had no interest in it, as I gather the ARM-Cirrus partnership ended up disappointingly.
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.
