Patch: support for or32 architecture

Hi,

Added support for or32 architecture (--target=or32-rtems).
Since this is my first contribution to binutils, please tell me if I forgot
to include/do something.

regards,
    Ivan

Hi Ivan,

> Added support for or32 architecture (--target=or32-rtems).

Thanks for submitting this.  I have had a brief look and it appears
OK, but I am going to hold off accepting and applying this patch until
after the 2.12 branch occurs.

Cheers
        Nick

Hi,

OK. Thanks. 

Sorry for another mail earlier today on this topic, I have not received
your reply by the time I was writting it.

Could I plead for this being merged pre-branch?  As the target
indicates,
there is an RTEMS port to the or32 which is currently hard for people
to use because the tools require snapshots.  This leads to the RTEMS 
project supporting non-mainstream release tools for this CPU.

If it is merged, I will add or32-rtems binutils to the standard
set of targets we provide prebuilt binaries for.  We provide 
GNU/Linux, Cygwin, and Solaris binaries and a FreeBSD ports 
package for all *-rtems targets that are in mainstream releases.

If that doesn't sway you, how about a "please pretty please
with sugar on top." :)

Hi Joel,

Ok - I will have a closer look at the code tomorrow.  If I feel that
it can be added without raising the possibility of affecting other
ports then I will check it in.  (ie if it is basically self contained
apart from the essential additions of a new target).

Cheers

I have now applied your patch.

There were a lot of things I had to fix in your contribution before it
could be checked in.  In particular I built both the or32-elf and
or32-coff toolchains and fixed all of the compilation problems.  I
also ran the GAS, LD and BINUTILS testsuites and fixed a few of the
simpler failures.  If you run a diff between your current sources and
the sources that I checked into the CVS repository you will find all
of the changes that I had to make.

One other thing - you have not provided any or32 specific
documentation for GAS, nor an or32 gas testsuite.  Both of these
should be provided and I hope that you will find time to create them
in the near future.

Cheers
        Nick

Hi,

Thanks for aplying the patch. I will examine the changes you made.

Documentation and testsuite are also being worked on. I will submit them
when they are finished.
