We (as in you, me, and anyone else working on other architectures) could
probably work together to add those options to gcc.  What I mean is, when you
cast gcc, it could ask if you would like to choose which architectures (other
than your current) you would like gcc to be able to build for, it could then
popup a dialog (it's the easiest way to show all the options, unless you want 
to
sit there and say 'y'|'n' to however many other archs we put on there) with a
list of architectures (all the sparc ones (about 7, IIRC), ppc, arm, alpha,
mips, etc.).

Or does the source code for gcc not support that (it should, but just 
checking)?

Thoughts?
