Well we do have it in our plans but given this is more a nice feature than something critical (as currently used approach with libgcc works perfectly fine) it might not be done very soon. Thus we'll need to keep this work-around for now. BTW exporting of libgcc parts into kernel means we'll need to keep it in sync with real libgcc later which is not optimal as well. -Alexey _______________________________________________ linux-snps-arc mailing list linux-snps-arc@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-snps-arc
