[patch/rfa] Drop some arm-* targets

[patch/rfa] Drop some arm-* targets

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 266 bytes --]

Hello,

The attached patch prunes the number of ARM targets to build when 
checking that a change doesn't badly break things.  I think dropping 
arm-coff is pretty obvious since it and arm-elf should be the same.

Not so obvious is arm-pe - Chris, thoughts?

Chris is ok with this so I've checked it in.

Actually, maybe it's a corollary of the above, bu I think we should
obsolete the WinCE targets.  So the files wince.c, wince-stub.c, and
wince-stub.h should go.  These files are also used for mips-pe and
sh-pe.

I guess I'm sort of the maintainer of these packages but I really don't
have any interest in maintaining them.  AFAIK, both binutils and gcc both
are no longer capable of building Windows CE binaries.

Some WCE specific ifdefs have been already deleted from sh-tdep.c,
back in May 2001. So yes, kill them.

Like the idea.  Would you like to, or do you want me to ``drive this one 
forward'' ... :-)

Do I just have to remove the target from Makefile.in and submit the patch
here?

If so, I'll do it.

Unfortunatly no.  The process goes something like:

	o	post intent to gdb@

		wait

	o	post intent to gdb-announce@

		wait

	o	mark all relevant files with
		OBSOLETE comments

		wait for a release to occure

	o	remove the code
