secondary platforms. Update HP-UX to 11.31? Update AIX to 5.3? I
like having these platforms in the list, in that the differences in
object models tend to flush out bugs in GCC, but there doesn't seem to
be as much interest in these systems from GCC developers as in other
systems.
3. Update sparc-sun-solaris2.9 to sparc64-sun-solaris2.10?
4. Replace powerpc-apple-darwin with i686-apple-darwin. Apple's
hardware switch would seem to make the PowerPC variant less interesting.
5. Add i686-mingw32 as a secondary platform.
Reactions?
Those all sound fine.
However I would like to put in a plug for mips[el]-unknown-linux-gnu.
Like most others, I have no hard data on how many of these systems there
are, but they are quite common in the embedded device space (especially
consumer electronic devices).
Perhaps mips[el]-unknown-linux-gnu could replace mips-none-elf on the
list. It is harder to test using a simulator, but more GCC languages
are supported.
Just my $0.02.
Thanks,
