GNU/Linux for Alpha, Power and SPARC don't use the shared file, so in those cases config/$cpu/linux.h has to duplicate a lot from it. Also, some uClinux targets use this header, and some don't. > To state this intended similarity clearly, one could rename, e.g., > `config/linux.h' to `config/gnu-shared.h' and then have a new (nearly > empty) file `config/linux.h' additionally to the existing `config/gnu.h', > `config/kfreebsd-gnu.h', etc. to do the remaining few customizations. Perhaps it would make sense in the first instance to move just the subset that can be shared by *all* GNU/Linux targets (and is identical in config/alpha/linux.h, config/rs6000/linux.h, config/sparc/linux.h as well as in config/linux.h) into the new header - which *all* GNU/Linux targets would use - and then work out how to share the rest? -- Joseph S.
