Right, and a quick check says it never existed. There is e200z4, added to binutils with dfdaec14b0d, 2016-08-01, but the kernel -me200 was added in 2005. I suspect the toolchain support only existed inside Freescale and pushing it upstream was too difficult. -- Alan Modra Australia Development Lab, IBM
