Interested in work being done on Xenix 386 GCC or G++

I am finally starting to do some work on getting gcc (and hopefully g++)
working on my Xenix 386 machine.
The only stumbling block is that the compiler produces code that is in the
AT&T style assembler syntax. Xenix's 386 assembler, masm, can not handle this.
I have gotten a fair amount of interest in the past (and one offer from a
co-conspirator to work on this with me. Hi Mike!)
I'm interested in finding out about what work has been done on GCC on Xenix in
the following areas:
1) Creating machine descriptions to generate masm code
2) AT&T as syntax to masm syntax translators
3) AT&T style assembler
4) COFF encapsulation-type work for getting gas to generate usable
object files.
My approach is to go ahead with plan #1 above, but I would be most interested
in hearing about any others.
