I'd like to just merge powerpc-common & powerpc-linux (as powerpc-linux 32-bit) for now and start a new powerpc-common that refactors 32/64 commonalities. >> >> Unless someone says otherwise about the meaning of these files. > > powerpc-common is shared between uclibc and eglibc at present and may > be shared with other OSes that may build with OE in future. > traditionally powerpc-common implicitly implied 32bit so I am not > surprised if its broken for ppc64.

In these cases we should have: common, common-linux, common-$libc, mips-common, mips-linux, mips64-linux and if needed mips64-linux-libc. But I suspect some of the above won't exist, and that's OK. -- Tom Rini Mentor Graphics Corporation
