this list only lacks in my interest:

- MIPS LittleEndian (as soon as I get the small project with Nikolaus 
actually do something useful) or is your implementation already 
endian-independent?

- PPC32 (the only thing I have access to) and PPC64 to be accepted by 
the mainstream users today

- SPARC32 and SPARC64


sadly, it has been ages I touched PPC  (which as much as I love CPU 
concept, always hated when working in assembly) and SPARC code, but it 
would be a nice addition.

On both PPC and SPARC I only use GCC, but... if that works, I'd be 
tickled to work lower level again.
