[PING] Contributing new gcc targets: i386-*-dragonfly and x86-64-*-dragonfly


Hi folks,
Does anyone have any issues with this set of patches to add support for
the DragonFly targets?  It's a blocker for other patches of mine that
have a more general benefit, but this (relatively simple) one has to go
in first.

Thanks,
John
