Yes, they did. But even if I understand your frustration (which I share), 
I also understand the gcc people. After all, using gcc to create the 
blocks for dynamic translation is a _hack_. The result of a compiler run, 
though, should work and run -- as fast as possible. So basically, the gcc 
people want to achieve a different goal from what we misuse their program 
for.

(since tcc only supports x86 targets, this is not really a solution.)

I do not really know Mercurial, but it should make it really easy to merge 
two branches (as far as I have been told).
