Existing puffin parisc code needs to be modified to suit, This a) makes certain glbic code harder to work (which already does work, at that) b) is inconsistent with every single other architecture that does run Linux c) is inconsistent with my tree, and basically forces me to distribute binutils and gcc patches in addition to the gcc one-liner I already have. All in all this strikes me as not too smart. BTW, did you fix gcc to work with -mdisable-fpregs and actually make the kernel use that in the CVS tree ? It caused a lot of oopses here before I worked around it (patch is at ftp://linux-parisc.sourceforge.net/pub/linux-parisc/) (why we got oopses and what is wrong should be quite obvious if you know RTL - I don't and it seems reasonably obvious to me, I just can't fix it).
