Package: dpkg Version: 1.15.5.6 Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-CC: debian-powerpc@lists.debian.org
The gnuspe port will use powerpc-linux-gnuspe instead of powerpc-linux-gnu. This results in utilisation of the SPU unit which is currently available e500 based CPUs. Is everyone fine with gnuspe ? The e500 core is FSL's implementation of Book E with the SPE unit. This unit handles vector programming and floating point. Therefore the "traditional" floating unit is not available. e500v1 cores provide only support for single precision floating point while e500v2 cores may also handle double precision in hardware. Another name could be powerpc_spe. Sebastian
