[PATCH cf] Add support for OpenRISC 1000 (or1k) CPU

[Manuel A. Fernandez Montecelo]

Hi,

Does the lack of replies to the patch mean that it's not considered,
or it will be queued for a later date when gathering changes for the
next release?

For a bit of background information about the patch, this is what I
replied when somebody in private asked me about some aspects of the
patch, in particular why it was including changes for tools/files
which are regarded as obsolete.

-----------

We're creating a port for this architecture in Debian (more than 6
thousand packages already availabe), and imake is shipped as part of
the package "xutils-dev" [1].  We do not know (and it's in fact
impossible to discard) if somebody in the wide world is using the
imake software or not through Debian, Ubuntu or other derivatives.  It
seems to be used at least by cernlib, according to the description
[2].

I started creating the patch for only linux.cf back in march, IIRC.
But when I decided to submit upstream, I looked at what had happened
with the new architecture of Arm64 (added in 2013), and I guessed that
if support in all files was added that so recently, it would be
desired or even that you requested me to do that for this
architecture.  But I can remove that if you prefer.

rasmol, vnc4, isdnutils, xcal, wnn6, xaw3d and a few others definitely
need linux.cf  to get compiled; I don't know if we will need the rest
yet.

[2] https://packages.debian.org/sid/cernlib-base-dev : "Also included
are a contributed set of Autoconf macros to test for CERNLIB
libraries, and a set of Imake macros to allow CERNLIB modules to be
built out-of-tree."


Cheers.
