I can sponsor such packages for you, but I do have a biiig question:
h8300-hms (actually, h8300-coff) is dead upstream. Nobody wrote a new gas
backend for h8300-coff, and it has been pulled from binutils. What do you
intend to do about it? The last binutils version that supports h8300-coff
is 2.16.x, I think.
h8300-elf still lives, though.
Also, maybe it is high time to rename h8300-hms to its proper name,
h8300-coff ?

Which binutils upstream did you use for H8/300 coff ?
