Create gcc/LANG/Make-lang.in and gcc/LANG/config-lang.in. If you pursue this you will also want lang-specs.h and lang.opt. Look at the existing languages to see what these files look like. As far as I know none of this is documented, so you have to be willing to look at the existing code and figure out what is needed. Of course, if you produce documentation on what you do, that would be great. Ian
