Since we've been talking about obsoleting cpu support, how about getting rid of -many in ASM_CPU_SPEC for gcc-8?
It's a horrible hack of mine to work around gcc -mcpu option handling bugs which I think have been fixed, and to silence complaints from gas about asm() written for multiple cpus (with presumably run-time selection of which block of code gets executed depending on cpu). It used to be just a linux hack, but I see David uses it in aix61.h and aix71.h too? -- Alan Modra Australia Development Lab, IBM
