This looks all pretty good to me.
I added a few comments to the BZ. All minor stuff except the absence of
insn tests.

[ZhiGang]  We will add instruction tests separately. It is not ready now.  


One thing I'd like to bring up is a nightly build with results posted to
the mailing list. We already have enough ports without those and
generally no idea how well those ports work and/or how they brake when
new stuff gets added. We want to be able to observe that.

[Zhigang] The regress test shows 20+ failures as post in my previous email today.
Most of them are due to the mismatch source file line # given by stack trace. The mismatched line number are very close to expected within +/-3. Apparently, we need improve the stack back trace later.   
Regarding the maintaining: we can periodically(say once a week) pull the trunk and run on TileGX linux machine and post the results on this mail-list.
