[RFC/RFA] Unlist some targets as broken

[RFC/RFA] Unlist some targets as broken

[Mark Kettenis]

Currently, m68k, sparc and vax are marked as broken in MAINTAINERS.
This is not really true.  The problem with sparc has been fixed for
quite a while now; Andrew just chose an unlucky moment, where someone
broke the sparc-specific bfd stuff.  The problem with m68k and vax
wasn't really a problem with the code but rather a bug with the
compiler Andrew used.  There's a thread on the binutils list about it:

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2005-11/msg00049.html

So to set things straight I'd like to commit the attached since I feel
somewhat responsible for those targets.

Objections?  Should this go on the branch too?

Mark

Fine by me, and yes I believe it should go on the branch.  I'm assuming
you've built all three of these lately :-)
