Greetings,

I was wondering if anyone has heard if GCC has been or is being modified to
produce Windows NT 32 bit (ie. PE format) executables.  It seems that this would
be a likely and popular target (Windows NT that is).  

Also, if this isn't already being done, where would one start such a task?

1)  The NT API has certain calling conventions which would have to be supported
    by the compiler.

2)  The linker would have to understand PE format.

3)  GDB or some debugger would be necessary.

4)  Some sort of librarian would be necessary to generate import libs for the
    linker.

Tips, guidance and suggestions welcomed but please, no MS hate mail.
