I am trying to create a new gcc frontend, preferably using my OS X box and Apple's supplied gcc as the foundation, but having some difficulties. I first tried getting the "current" gcc from savannah, but that didn't want to compile at all with the gcc4.0 I have on my machine. The errors didn't look like I would be able to overcome them easily. Apple's gcc is not really a good place for working on a new front-end for GCC really. Also Apple's GCC depends on things being declared and really only supports the C family front-ends as you found out. I would use the mainline FSF gcc. There are only a few features which are in Apple's gcc which are not in the FSF's gcc. Most of them are C family based features which should not matter to a new front-end.
