I would like to backport the tt-ascalon-x name change to the GCC 16 and 15
branches, since Ascalon support exists in both of those releases, but for safety
reasons, maybe we should just go with a core/tune duplication method, rather
than backporting the new core alias support too. Ala the untested patch below.
Thoughts?
Either works for me. If we go with the backport, then I'd suggest
letting it simmer on the trunk for a week or so. While I don't expect
problems, the soak time never hurts. Duplication is safer, but
obviously would require more maintenance if we find something needs to
change in the ascalon bits.
Ultimately, your call. I'll support either approach.
