config BR2_PACKAGE_UCLIBC_ARCH_SUPPORTS
bool
default y if BR2_aarch64
default y if BR2_aarch64_be
default y if BR2_arcle
default y if BR2_arceb
so I'd say no we don't need to drop support for big endian ARC as
uClibc still supports it.
However, I must say we have quite a few ARC-specific issues, which I
have reported a while ago to the Synopsys people, and there's no longer
any Synopsys participation to Buildroot. So I'm thinking we should
probably take this as a "Synopsys no longer cares" and therefore we
should drop support for ARC.
Let's see if they react to this e-mail. If they don't, it will be a
clear signal that they don't care anymore, and we should drop ARC.
