Interesting!

Are you intending to keep the development separate or merge to both
projects' upstream?

Hey, at least it compiles non-trivial programs! Out all the DSP test
cases I have for the SPU, only a handful don't compile with your
backend :) Now if I only could get them running on the C64x... (I cannot
seem to "allocate dsp node", but that is just my lacking OMAP skills)
