[Bug libc/986] getcontext, setcontext, swapcontext are not implemeted for e500


------- Additional Comments From sjmunroe at us dot ibm dot com  2005-06-01 16:33 -------
 special purpose embeded (Book-E) processor which does not conform to the core
PowerPC architecture. It is a 32-bit (LR,CTR, XER) processor with combined
64-bit GPR/FPR set plus Accumulator.

The current glibc port targets powerpc32 and powerpc64 conform to the SysV ABI
PowerPC[32-bit] Processor Supplement and the 64-bit PowerPC ELF ABI Supplement
and fully support the standard PowerPC Architecure for 32-/64-bit
implementations/modes.

So this is not a bug. The current powerpc32/powerpc64 implementations are
correct according to thier respective ABIs.

e500 would have to be a separate target/ABI. And will require a separate port.
