Agreed 100%.

Agreed 100%.
Note that in binutils, the arm-wince-pe target covers much the
same code, and that's already in tree. It's mostly a matter
of patience to go and adjust a bunch of triplets all over (testsuite
mainly), otherwise, tests are skipped on mingw32ce, so testing on
arm-wince-pe gets you better coverage anyway; and, I know Nick has
that in his huge list of targets he regularly tests. :-) The
gcc side is another story, though.

If it wasn't clear, I'd be very happy if your patches are applied.
