- Subject: Suggest obsoleting some of the HPPA ports
hello,
I am currently looking at the list of "supported" targets and found
several ones that I won't be able to convert nor support:
- hppa*-*-bsd*
- hppa*-*-pro*
- hppa*-*-osf*
Unless somebody else with access to the appropriate machines is willing
to undertake the conversion for these targets, I suggest we obsolete
them.
This will leave us with the following triplets:
- (target) - hppa*64*-*-hpux11*
- hppa*-*-hpux*
- hppa*-*-hiux* (anybody knows what this is?)
- (host) - hppa*-*-hiux*
- hppa*-*-hpux10.20
- hppa*64*-*-hpux11*
- hppa*-*-hpux11*
- hppa*-*-hpux*
ACT does not have a system where hppa64 can be supported, so I am using
a machine under the HP/Compaq program. These machines come with a pretty
bare OS, and are a bit of a pain to use, but it would be a shame to lose
the hppa64 target. I think I've finally set up an environment where I
can build and test GDB there, but no CVS :-(. Anybody willing to take
over the conversion of this target would really be welcome... Otherwise,
I'll do the conversion too.
As for the proposal to obsolete the hppa-*-*(bsd|pro|osf)*
hosts/targets, this would allow us to get rid of the following files in
the config/pa directory:
BSD: hppabsd.mt
tm-hppab.h
hppabsd.mh
nm-hppab.h
xm-hppab.h
hppab-nat.c
PRO: hppapro.mt
tm-pro.h
op50-rom.c
w89k-rom.c
OSF: hppaosf.mt
tm-hppao.h
hppaosf.mh
nm-hppao.h
hppam3-nat.c
There are some other files that don't seem to be used, so I'm thinking
of deleting them:
hpux1020.mt
hpux11.mt
hpux11w.mt
