This sounds like something I was wanting to work on.

I miss the listing and cross reference generation capabilities of the
compilers from Digital/Compaq. The gcc community would have a lot to
gain if we can build this into the collection.

I want to see the ability to output listings in either plain text or
PostScript format for neatness. Also, all the compilers in gcc should
have uniform listing appearance.
