Lastly, after attempting to move the POWER4 gas testcase to
powerpc*-*-*
(which I am not doing in this patch), I noticed that the assembler
option
"-a64" was flagged as an illegal option when I configured with:
--target=powerpc-linux --enable-targets=all
but passes just fine when configured with
--target=powerpc-linux --enable-targets=powerpc64-linux
I tracked this down to we are not setting want64 to true in
bfd/configure
when configuring with --enable-targets=all.
That's what --enable-64-bit-bfd is for; if your host and target
both are 32-bit you don't get 64-bit BFD targets enabled without
it.
