Yes, but presumably you could make those pseudo-ops ARM-specific, rather than EABI specific? >> But, of course, arm-elf is really a dead ABI at this point... > > hmmm... if it's dead enough, it becomes a moot point, doesn't it? It's pretty dead. Richard Earnshaw recently suggested deprecating arm-elf in GCC 4.6. I think that's reasonable; most of the major operating systems (not just GNU/Linux, but embedded operating systems too) have switched to the EABI, not just for compatibility with one another, but because it's technically superior. -- Mark Mitchell CodeSourcery m...@codesourcery.com (650) 331-3385 x713
