That's arc, lm32 and score (I'm not sure why the last two were accepted 
without maintainers, lm32 in particular is recent).

Possible deprecations to consider for 4.6 if someone wants to work out 
details of target triplets and implement the deprecations:

* arc.

* Interix target OS (doesn't build at present).

* Generic COFF/PE targets (arm-*-pe* other than arm*-wince-pe*, 
mcore-*-pe*) (i[34567]86-*-pe isn't actually such a target, it's an alias 
for the Cygwin configuration, but as previously discussed "canonical" 
aliases - ones left unchanged by config.sub - have their own problems, so 
maybe it should be deprecated as well).

* a.out BSD configurations where there are corresponding ELF 
configurations as well.

* m68k-*-uclinuxoldabi*.

* If GNU as is made to work for alpha*-dec-osf5.1*, then I'd like to 
eliminate mips-tdump, mips-tfile and the extra_passes and extra_programs 
mechanisms in config.gcc.  (Actually, only extra_passes is used at all at 
present, not extra_programs.)
