Re: [PATCH] Fix ColdFire support for GCC 3.4 in libgloss

I'm afraid I can't accept this change as-is. The problem is that gcc code is under the GPL license and newlib does not accept GPL licensed contributions. If you want to make your own set of macros based on your "observations of gcc" or if you were to copy from a BSD-licensed source, that would be fine, but to copy the macros (plus/minus comments) directly from the gcc code is not.

This isn't a problem: I'm the author of those changes in GCC, and my FSF copyright assignment papers grant me full ownership of my contributions.

I hereby re-license my code to the newlib project with the same
license of libgloss/m68k/crt0.S.


I would also like to see any such replacement macros placed into a header file included by the two files rather than copied multiple times.

Sure. I'll resubmit the patch moving the definitions to asm.h.
