Description Jorn Wolfgang Rennecke 2006-11-15 20:25:12 UTC 
The default multilib for sh-linux is -m1, even though you can't run
linux without virtual memory.

There is a patch, but it needs testing:

I think we can close this PR as 'won't fix'.
I don't think sh-linux should be used as a shortcut for sh4-linux or something like that.  I guess by now everybody got used to the fact that for an SH4 Linux things need to be configured as sh4-linux.

Kaz, what do you think?
