Subject: PowerPC Instructions
Date: Fri, 01 Dec 1995 13:47:00 -0000	[thread overview]

Hi,

I have a user submitted port of RTEMS to the PowerPC (IBM 403) and it uses
some instructions (or alternate names) he added to his local gas.  I am
using binutils 2.6 configured for powerpc-elf.  I know of the following
based on the error messages: 

/usr1/tmp/cca004pL.s: Assembler messages:
/usr1/tmp/cca004pL.s:54: Error: Unrecognized opcode: `mtsprg3'
/usr1/tmp/cca004pL.s:56: Error: Unrecognized opcode: `mtsprg2'
/usr1/tmp/cca004pL.s:131: Error: Unrecognized opcode: `mtexier'
/usr1/tmp/cca004pL.s:137: Error: Unrecognized opcode: `mttsr'
/usr1/tmp/cca004pL.s:143: Error: Unrecognized opcode: `mttsr'

I am not a PowerPC expert by any definition. (OK I do own a few PowerPC 
manuals :).)   What is the best thing for me to do?  I see two options:

1.  Merge his patches.

2.  If possible, change the instruction names to standard ones.
