And it seems the issues of h8/300 for compiling Linux kernel is still valuable to be focused on, just like Jeff Law said. :-) > Michael > > Please note for answers: i am only subscribed to binutils mailing list. > Excuse me, my English is not quite well, and also I am a newbie in binutils and gcc mailing list. I guess your meaning is: When send h8/300 related mails, better always include binut...@sourceware.org (although may it is only for gcc issues) ? Is it correct ? (if it is correct, not need reply) Thanks. > Chen Gang schrieb: >> On 09/10/2013 10:19 AM, Jeff Law wrote: >>> On 09/09/2013 07:13 PM, Chen Gang wrote: >>>> 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. >>>> >>>> >>>> The related information in linux kernel next tree: >>>> >>>> commit d02babe847bf96b82b12cc4e4e90028ac3fac73f >>>> Author: Guenter Roeck<li...@roeck-us.net> >>>> Date: Fri Aug 30 06:01:49 2013 -0700 >>>> >>>> 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.
