Which makes sense anyway (in upstream config.git) as of use to anyone who might wish to use such target triplets, in any project using autoconf. > A bit of digging however led me to find that neither gcc or binutils > seem to use the version in the triplet > to determine anything, and the discussion on the linaro-toolchain list > that started this thread have come to the > conclusion that people would actually prefer to always ignore the > triplet (like binutils and gcc) and just > autodetect from gcc ifdef's. Logically I prefer autodetection over depending too much on triplets (you should still set the various configure variables from the autodetection in the way I described). For some reason the autodetection I set up for Power e500 in EGLIBC has however proved rather fragile in practice - lots of people have had difficulty getting it working. As I noted there are several different approaches possible; some are more frequent than others and autodetection isn't that frequent in (E)GLIBC at present. -- Joseph S.
