Message-ID: <20070729115040.GD30976@stusta.de> Date: Sun, 29 Jul 2007 13:50:40 +0200 From: Adrian Bunk <bunk@...sta.de> To: spyro@....com, john@...world.co.uk Cc: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, rmk@....linux.org.uk Subject: RFC: Remove the arm26 port Considering the state of the arm26 port, I do hereby suggest to remove it from the Linx kernel since it's far from a usable state and doesn't seem to come back into a usable state. If anyone wants to work on getting this port back into a usable state in the forseeable future he should speak up now. cu Adrian On Sat, Jul 07, 2007 at 10:12:08PM +0200, Adrian Bunk wrote: > I'm wondering what the status of the arm26 port in the kernel is: > > AFAIR gcc support for this architecture was deprecated in gcc 3.4 and > removed in gcc 4.0.
