Hi
I append new optional instruction "stfiwx" for PowerPC 603/603e/604
needed by gdb inside sim/ppc simulator. GNU gcc already generates
binaries with this instruction and the patch is essential for properly
running binaries on gdb simulator (target sim). Without this patch you
will get: program interrupt - illegal instruction (optional instruction
not supported)
Thanks!
I've checked this in (finding a 604 manual is getting tricky :-), but
with a slightly simpler ChangeLog.
BTW, you may want to do a general audit of ppc-instructions, there could
be a few other missing optional instructions :-)
