I suggest you go and look at the solution that was in place for MIPS subarches as well to take that into consideration.
I think it still exists in: mips-sources, arcboot, arcload. The latter two being bootloaders that need to be specifically configured for the subarch else they just don't work. I think the PPC64 folk also experimented for a while with something for the Cell chip. In general, +1 on the subprofile, but not so much on the masking, unless cross-compile isn't an option at all. -- Robin Hugh Johnson Gentoo Linux: Developer, Trustee & Infrastructure Lead E-Mail : robb...@gentoo.org GnuPG FP : 11AC BA4F 4778 E3F6 E4ED F38E B27B 944E 3488 4E85
