Ok. I was a bit astonished lately to find that a couple of SPARC
patches to binutils and gdb had only been tested (or even only
supported) Linux/SPARC, not Solaris/SPARC.
For binutils, I always try to test all our patches with
--enable-targets=all, plus:
For changes in sparc code:
SPARC_TARGETS="sparc-aout sparc-linux sparc-vxworks sparc64-linux
sparc-sun-solaris2.12"
For changes in common code, the above plus:
X86_TARGETS="i386-darwin i386-lynxos i586-linux i686-nacl i686-pc-beos
i686-pc-elf i686-pe i686-vxworks x86_64-linux
x86_64-w64-mingw32 x86_64-nacl "
MIPS_TARGETS="mips-linux mips-vxworks mips64-linux mipsel-linux-gnu
mipsisa32el-linux mips64-openbsd mipstx39-elf"
For big extensive changes in common code, the above plus around 80 more
targets covering powerpc, arm, alpha, arm, arc, vax, etc.
That said, we should probably do more native testing on Solaris/SPARC to
avoid breakage in that platform... we will look into improving that :)
