Probably not "soon".  GCC 3.1 isn't even released yet, and 3.0 is definitely
not up to the task.

Also, I've been working on getting all of our targets supported in
the master GCC sources, but I don't have infinite time to spend on.

In one of the cases you state, GCC -current for ARM doesn't even support
the ABI we use, so switching now would be an incredibly bad idea.
