Bug ID: 108853
Summary: Add new -mcpu=e500 alias for -mcpu=8540
Product: gcc
Version: 12.2.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: target
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: pali at kernel dot org
Target Milestone: ---
Target: powerpc*
To compile code for powerpc e500 core it is needed to specify -mcpu=8540
option. Name 8540 refers to the SoC MPC8540, which was the first released HW
product with powerpc e500 core. All other powerpc gcc's -mcpu options specify
core names and not the SoC/product name.
So for consistent naming I would propose to add a new option -mcpu=e500 as an
alias to -mcpu=8540. Note that other projects like binutils/as and LLVM use
"e500" name for specifying e500 core, and not 8540 word like gcc.
