Waldek, what's the status WRT 128 bit integer types? Is it realistic to support them in the foreseeable future (or with which backend version)?
I think so. I have adapted older gpc version to use 128 bit integer types on 64-bit targets. That patch triggered multiple backed bugs. Most of them was fixed in the meantime. I felt that other problems were more urgent so I did not look at this recently.
Concerning backends: backporting fixes to backends earlier that 3.3 probably requires too much work. 3.3 and later should be doable with a little effort.
I'm still testing with 3.2.3 too, but I also thought about dropping it recently. Since the external preprocessor was the last obstacle in adopting 3.3 and 3.4, I think we can drop 3.2.x officially (i.e., remove the 3.2.x diffs in the next release). Objections anyone? (If 3.3 turns out problematic, I wouldn't mind dropping it also.)
