Exceptions are allowed when the changes are very small and obvious. I actually believe this patch would qualify, if it is introduced as, "cegcc builds code that runs on Windows CE, so I just made cegcc match wherever cygwin or mingw would" -- which was actually how the patch was written in the first place... Maybe someone can redo the patch from scratch based on that info? There are things the patch didn't do right, like the binaries detection, so it would be a good to look over every hunk in it anyway. > This mail is addressed to Pedro Alvez: Do you think you can modify your > patch so that it can be integrated to libtool 2.3 ? > Well, I didn't intend to push cegcc as an official platform into the FSF world (contrary to mingw32ce), but if people want to... > Note: as the name of the binaries will change when the 4.3.0 reease of gcc > will be correctly managed, maybe ti would be good to already support both > names > The canonical form to match our toolchains should be arm*-*-mingw32ce* and arm*-*-cegcc*, which always covers the old and the new forms. -- Pedro Alves ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
