+I am happy to introduce GHDL.
+
+GHDL is a GCC front-end for the VHDL (IEEE 1076) language, an hardware design
+language.
+
+Currently, GHDL implements most of VHDL-1987 and some features of
+VHDL-1993.  It is mature enough to compile and run some complex design (such
+as a DLX processor and leon1, a SPARCv7 processor)
+
+GHDL has been developped on a GNU/Linux x86 system, and only this configuration
+has been tested (porting to other processor or system should not be an hard
+task, but there are system dependent files in the run time).
+
+GHDL is written in Ada95 (using GNAT) and relies on agcc, an Ada
+binding for GCC.  It also includes a run-time library (written in Ada), named
+grt.  The front-end and the library are both distributed under the GPL licence.
+
+For sources, binary tarballs, or for more information, go to
+http://ghdl.free.fr

+Building GHDL from sources:
+***************************
+
+See BUILD.txt
+
+Please report bugs and issues on https://github.com/tgingold/ghdl/issues
+
+If you cannot compile, please report the gcc version, GNAT version and gcc
+source version.
+
+* Note for ppc64 (and AIX ?) platform:
+The object file format contains an identifier for the source language. Because
+gcc doesn't know about the VHDL, gcc crashes very early. This could be fixed
+with a very simple change in gcc/config/rs6000/rs6000.c,
+function rs6000_output_function_epilogue (as of gcc 4.8):
+       else if (! strcmp (language_string, "GNU Objective-C"))
+        i = 14;
+       else
+-       gcc_unreachable ();
++       i = 0;
+       fprintf (file, "%d,", i);
