Found in the release notes for GCC 4.3 at http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.3/changes.html :
Support for a number of older systems and recently unmaintained or
untested target ports of GCC has been declared obsolete in GCC 4.3.
Unless there is activity to revive them, the next release of GCC
will have their sources permanently *removed*.
All GCC ports for the following processor architectures have been
declared obsolete:
* National Semiconductor CRX (|crx-*|)
* Morpho MT (|mt-*|)
The following aliases for processor architectures have been declared
obsolete. Users should use the indicated generic target names
instead, with compile-time options such as |-mcpu| or configure-time
options such as |--with-cpu| to control the configuration more
precisely.
* |strongarm*-*-*|, |ep9312*-*-*|, |xscale*-*-*| (use |arm*-*-*|
instead).
* |parisc*-*-*| (use |hppa*-*-*| instead).
* |m680[012]0-*-*| (use |m68k-*-*| instead).
All GCC ports for the following operating systems have been declared
obsolete:
* BeOS (|*-*-beos*|)
* ...
I have no idea if this has any particular importance to the Haiku
project, but if my understanding is correct, the BeOS port will go away.
Will Haiku's native/hosted GCC need to have its changes officially
hosted within the GCC project? I don't know personally, but it may be
something worth looking into, or possibly taking over the BeOS port...
This was just a quick FYI email. Later folks, Raymond
