Re: What should we do with rs6000?


I am mostly interested in config/rs6000/xm-rs6000.h. This file gets
included because config/rs6000/rs6000.mh gets selected. This leads
me to configure.host, where I see that this mh file only gets selected
if GDB is configure with a rs6000-*-* triplet that don't match certain
conditions:

        rs6000-*-lynxos*)       gdb_host=rs6000lynx ;;
        rs6000-*-aix4*)         gdb_host=aix4 ;;
        rs6000-*-*)             gdb_host=rs6000 ;;

So I guess this means older versions of AIX (3.x and older).
Am I right?

Do we still support older versions of AIX?

How about rs6000 itself??? Still supported?

I think a more immediate question to ask is: Is autoconf sufficient for configuring / building on those systems and hence can the xm*.h files be removed?


Here we're going with a working assumption that the answer is yes, and if it turns out that it isn't we've a bug in configure :-)
