Hello Maintainers:

After google search and check the Linux kernel, H8/300 is dead, and for
gcc-4.9.0 and binutils-2.23.2 still has h8300, do we still need it for
another OS ?

Welcome any suggestions or completions, thanks.

       Drop support for Renesas H8/300 (h8300) architecture

       H8/300 has been dead for several years, and the kernel for it
       has not compiled for ages. Drop support for it.

The related information in gcc/binutils:

   We can build h8300 cross-compiler for Linux kernel, successfully, but it has 
many bugs when building Linux kernel with -Os.
   if we still need h8300 for another OS, is it still valuable to send these 
bugs to Bugzilla (although it is found under Linux)?
It is still useful to send code generation bugs for the H8/300 series to the GCC folks.
