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 -- Joel
