Thanks for the feedback. I based my "hope" on the below link: http://nickclifton.livejournal.com/10857.html
It does look like patches for VLE has reached the GNU binutils - probably what you are referring to. Please advise what good it is to have VLE in the binutils, but not in GCC ? I thought one would imply the other for it to make sense, but I may be wrong? Also, it looks like somebody was looking at VLE and binutils almost three years ago - but it seems to have taken a long time to mature. http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2009-12/msg00007.html I would really hope that someone would be adding VLE to GCC as it would be very interesting to evaluate performance and code density against e.g. ARM Thumb2 - VLE looks pretty powerful, and e.g. the e200z0 core is a VLE-only core available as IP - besides being in chips on the market today. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerPC_e200#e200z0 Thanks
