Pardon?  I've spent years working on the S/370
backend, and I am not aware of anything
preventing the s370 backend from working on GCC 4,
besides the usual relatively minor mods that you need
to do with any new release of GCC.

I have attempted to make those mods already in
fact (to the point where it at least compiled),
but got stuck when GCC 4 went into a loop
or something and I had to start debugging the
main GCC application.
