Hi Joel,
We have a new RTEMS port and need to get the tool
support merged. Not much to the patch except
to add cases to configure files. OK to commit
to the head?
Umm, does this mean that with this patch applied it will be possible to
build a toolchain configure for sparc64-rtems, but that this toolchain
will not work ? (In the sense that the binutils part of the toolchain
will not be able to output valid sparc64-rtems binaries). If so then I
do not think that the patch should be applied until you are ready to
contribute the remaining patches needed to support sparc64-rtems. If on
the other hand you mean that the binutils will support sparc64-rtems
just fine and it is other tools (gcc ? gdb?) that need some extra
patches, then this particular patch is approved.
I just mean we are about to branch an RTEMS release and
we are not merging this port until after the branch is made.
There is only a binutils and gcc patch. It works after that.
The only caveat is that you have to explicitly enable 64 bit bfd
at configure for this target and it would be nice to have it
automatic.
