Why? And where are the documentation updates? How does this relate to the existing iWMMXt options? I thought the plan (Ramana?) was to move to having a -msimd= option to select SIMD units, reflecting that "neon" is not an FPU and "iwmmxt" is not an architecture (or a CPU). So you'd have -march=armv5te -msimd=iwmmxt as replacement for the present -march=iwmmxt - or -mcpu=<whatever> implying that combination of options. Given that idea I'm not sure adding another legacy option makes sense - at least the option should have the desired -msimd=iwmmxt spelling. -- Joseph S. Myers jos...@codesourcery.com
