These targets I want to kill all non-BFD_ASSEMBLER gas targets, to reduce the maintenance burden, and allow BFD_ASSEMBLER gas targets to be cleaned up without worrying about breaking the old code. That will mean the generic support code in gas for non-BFD_ASSEMBLER will disappear from mainline. Whether the corresponding tc-* files disappear or not doesn't matter so much, but I favour complete removal. You won't be able to build these gas targets until they are converted over to use BFD. Fair enough. Removing the tc-* files makes sense; people can always get them from the attick or previous releases. > from your list: > > m88k-*-* > > vax-*-netbsd* > vax-*-bsd* > vax-*-ultrix* > > are still fully supported by me in GDB, and support for them shouldn't > be removed from bdf/ and opcodes/. OK, I guess that's reasonable. Please list yourself as a maintainer in binutils/MAINTAINERS! I've added myself as m88k maintainer. I'm not too familliar with the architecture, so if someone else steps up, I'll be perfectly happy to step down. The binutils/MAINTAINERS list already lists Jason R Thorpe as VAX maintainer, so I didn't add myself there. I suppose Jason is mostly interested in vax-*-netbsdelf* and not with the old a.out vax-*-netbsd* stuff. Jason, if you want me to be co-maintainer for the a.out stuff, please drop me another mail.
