It was deleted in Linux, and GCC dropped the cris-*linux target, but GCC keeps other cris targets. IOW, at very least, it has become a niche use case target. We don't need Linux/GCC support as a pre-requisite for having a target in QEMU, but it sure makes it increasingly challenging to test. > > Signed-off-by: Alex Bennée > Cc: Rabin Vincent > Cc: Edgar E.
