[PATCH] Disable warning about -mcpu

[PATCH] Disable warning about -mcpu

[Thiemo Seufer]

Hi All,

this disables warnings about the use of -mcpu=FOO. The idea of it
was to bring people away from using this to-be-deprecated option,
but ATM it is an senseless obstacle to anyone who needs to use
released gcc with a new assembler.

Ok, I'm not going to approve this one as it is a policy decision for all of
binutils.  I'd prefer to leave it in, but I'd rather have Nick give a
comment on whether or not he wants it.

FWIW, I'd like to see all those mips backend fixes go into gcc 3.0.x.
As far as I am concerned, gcc 3.0.x is broken on Linux/mips. I only
track the main trunk for Linux/mips.
