[m-dev.] GCC back-end status

[Fergus Henderson]

The GCC back-end now passes most of the tests cases in the `samples'
and `tests' directories.

The exceptions are

	samples/c_interface and other tests using the C interface
		Missing Mmake support for C interface

	tests using --intermodule-optimization
		These fail for the same reason as the ones above,
		because the C header code in the standard library
		gets included in the final MLDS.

	tests using MR_unbox_float
		Link error because MR_unbox_float is undefined
		(that will be very easy to fix).

	hard_coded/curry.m, higher_order_syntax2.m
		map__det_insert failed in mlds_to_gcc.m
		(haven't analyzed this one yet)
