Hi. GCC 4.5.0 will ship with support for lm32. This is an IP which can be configured in several ways (with or without barrel shifter, and with or without a hardware multiplier).
To be usable in all cases, it has to support multilib. The support is present but broken: the "MULTILIB_OPTIONS" variable is located in the wrong file! I submitted a small patch from a colleague of mine (http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2010-03/msg00307.html) and sent three PING already. But since there is no listed maintainer for lm32, it seems that it doesn't draw any attention from anyone who can approve it, so I cannot check it in. If we do not apply it, the multilib option for this new target will be broken in 4.5.0. I know we are late in the development stage, but lm32 is a new target and reading the patch makes it clear that it cannot break any other platform. I know you guys are all very busy but I am not able to reach anyone interested in lm32 on gcc-patches. Could someone with global commit rights have a look at this patch and approve/reject/delay it? http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2010-03/msg00307.html Sam PS/ Note that I don't use this architecture myself and I am not interested in becoming its maintainer -- I just happen to know someone who uses it and noticed that GCC was broken. -- Samuel Tardieu -- s...@rfc1149.net -- http://www.rfc1149.net/
