x86_64 file names?

x86_64 file names?

[Andrew Cagney]

In looking through the BFD sources I came:

      *	bfd/elf64-x86-64.c
	gas/testsuite/gas/i386/x86_64.d
	gas/testsuite/gas/i386/x86_64.s
      *	include/elf/x86-64.h
	ld/emulparams/elf_x86_64.sh

this prompted me to wonder.  Should the gdb file be called x86_64-tdep.c 
or x86-64-tdep.c.  I really don't care but suspect the latter is more 
consistent with the core binutils files.

So a question for the SuSE folks, what are the core GCC files being called?

The architecture is called x86-64.  Since config.guess/config.sub will
not accept a minus, we had to use x86_64 for config.guess and that's
how this crept in.  So in general, the name should be x86-64.

For GCC all the patches are done to the i386 files and there's no
x86-64 file at all.
