Subject: Removing SH-5 support
Date: Thu, 28 Apr 2016 20:37:06 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160428203705.GA29613@brightrain.aerifal.cx> (raw)
GCC's sh target maintainers have finally removed support for SH-5 from
trunk:
https://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs/gcc?limit_changes=0&view=revision&revision#5544
It's probably been broken for a long time, and the associated clutter
was hindering development progress on SH-2/3/4 targets which are
actually supported.
In light of this change, which leaves us with no future toolchain
support for SH-5, and the lack of any interest in SH-5 from users or
developers, I'd like to remove SH-5 support from the kernel too. This
should streamline the existing code and make it easier to modernize
the arch/sh tree.
Any objections?
Rich
