I think 3.3 is the release it will be deprecated in. It was discussed
a while back and 3.3 was picked at that time as the deprecation point.
RTEMS 4.6 still has i960 support. We have to make a decision as a
project
how long it should be kept around. The lack of tools leads me to
clobber it.

It is still a valid target in RTEMS 4.6 although that will be the last
release with it. It can be deprecated in gcc 3.3. The requirement was
that mips-rtems can build and link all mips1 and mips3 BSPs and with
gcc 3.3, that works. So gcc 3.2.2 will be that last gcc RTEMS RPMS
are available for this target.

Abandoned port that was started by someone and never finished. I always
wanted to see it finished but it never got returned to by anyone. It
can be deprecated it now.
