Nothing is different about arm-elf or FPA. But, it's always been my feeling that we tried too hard to cater to ports with very few users. In any case, please note that here we're talking about deprecating a feature; whether to remove it is an independent decision for later. I think deprecation of FPA is reasonable; at what point removal is reasonable isn't something we have to answer until *at least* the 4.7 release cycle. -- Mark Mitchell CodeSourcery m...@codesourcery.com (650) 331-3385 x713
