i recognise that, and have no problem with it, at all.

we need something that can get us some funding in that fits within NLnet's
Assure Programme.

the PET Programme *ENDED* Dec 1st.  we can NOT resubmit the gcc proposal.


the bare-metal modifications i am proposing should take no more than 8 to 11
weeks, easily.

on top of that the crypto-primitive intrinsics can be added, in a way that
makes it appear to be the "primary focus" of the proposal, taking up a large
proportion of the budget.

these can double up as unit tests that test the bare metal sv intrinsics

if however the key focus of the proposal appears to be *gcc* then it is highly
likely to be rejected because the Assure Programme is about *crypto
primitives*, not gcc.

you see where i am going with this?

also the bare metal intrinsics will help Lauri because he will be able to write
in c code rather than pure assembler.
