             FYI

             I guess for RTEMS we should use "powerpcspe-rtems*-*". Is it
             possible to use the RTEMS "powerpc" directories with such a
             target? We had an "arm-rtemseabi*" maybe due to some
             configure/automake limitations. So, maybe "powerpc-rtemsspe*"?


        I personally think the GCC discussions which put SPE as part of
        the OS name are
        horribly incorrect. SPE is an architecture variant and the
        pattern for configure
        triples is very well defined. The pattern is
        ARCHITECTURE-VENDOR-OS[version]

        I would prefer powerpcspe-rtemsVERSION.

        On the sharing the code issue, how much gets shared? How do you
        envision
        this impacting the RTEMS tree? Split the PowerPC port like GCC?
        Or just
        somehow magically build the same powerpc directories two
        different ways?


    The reason for this split in GCC is that IBM is no longer willing to
    maintain the stuff from Freescale/NXP/Qualcomm. There is no reason
    to do this split in RTEMS.


I didn't either except for the purity of matching directories to tool architectures.

So it will be configure magic to subset the BSPs I suppose.


Does this mean we configure RTEMS with:

  configure --target=powerpcspe-rtems4.12

?

It would seem to create a new architecture and I suspect this will have a follow on effects with rtems_waf and the rtems-tools.
