If config.sub already converts them to m68k, so that m680[012]0 never appears in a canonical target name, then the code in config.gcc looking for m680[012]0 in canonical target names is already dead. The proposed alias deprecations relate only to aliases appearing in canonical names, not those that config.sub handles (such as converting pentium-linux to i586-pc-linux-gnu). If config.sub handles a target alias, config.gcc doesn't need to include it in the case statements, and testcases do not need to mention that alias. Thus testcases don't need to know about the possibility of configuring for target pentium-linux. If config.sub does not handle a target alias, testcases do need to know about it - and testcases checking for m68k-*-* fail to check for the other variant target aliases. There are no test results recently posted for the m680[012]0 target aliases. -- Joseph S. Myers [EMAIL PROTECTED]
