Change powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu to powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu so that
we also require the 64bit of PowerPC to work.
To be clear, you're suggesting that we say
"powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu", but mean that both it's 32-bit and
64-bit modes should work?
That makes sense to me. What about MIPS/MIPS64?
Also move powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu or powerpc-linux-gnu to Primary if
powerpc-aix is moving to secondary so we keep a PowerPC up as a primary
target.
Definitely; I'd confused myself.
5. Add i686-mingw32 as a secondary platform.
Is i686-pc-cygwin just as important as mingw32 then?
I wonder if you mean to ask whether mingw32 is as important as Cygwin,
or the other way around?
I think both are important, and about equally so. Cygwin is widely
used by people used to GNU software when running on Windows and has a
very active community. Windows (without Cygwin) is of course a
widely-used operating system, and my perception is that a reasonable
number of people are using GCC to build non-Cygwin Windows
applications. However, I have no hard data.
$0.02 from a user - I routinely use the MinGW gcc stuff, mostly the Ada
compiler, in a production environment where I work. I'd love to see
i686-mingw32 get more attention.
