Pedro,
A while ago you got the arm-unknown naming scheme accepted. We have not
implemented it yet though.
What would be the best way to proceed with this ? Do you know if any of
the GNU tools imported this into their sources ?
I would guess not but your never know.
If we proceed with implementing this, would the best step be to first
upgrade our version of some GNU tool to the latest one, and then do the
work to implement "arm-unknown" ? Or would this be independent of those
versions ?
