Subject: [RFC PATCH 6/6] docs/about: deprecate add sparc/sparc32plus-*-user
Date: Wed, 16 Jul 2025 11:54:14 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250716105414.2330204-7-alex.bennee@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250716105414.2330204-1-alex.bennee@linaro.org>
Even with a toolchain *-user is still broken. Maybe we should just
deprecate the target. I haven't deprecated for system as we have
functional tests that work and will continue to do so.
