Then the "w" in hppa2.0w-hp-hpux11.00 is in contradiction to hp's naming
convention and misleading the user: the options of hp's cc extracted from cc
man page read

                             Examples
                                         +DA1.1
                                         +DA867
                                         +DA2.0
                                         +DA2.0W
                                         +DAportable

                             The first two examples generate code for the
                             PA-RISC 1.1 architecture. The third example
                             generates 32-bit code for the PA-RISC 2.0
                             architecture. The fourth example generates 64-
                             bit code for the PA-RISC 2.0 architecture.  The
                             fifth example generates code compatible across
                             PA-RISC 1.1 and 2.0 workstations and servers.

Maybe hppa2.0w-hp-hpux11.00 should be renamed hppa2.0-hp-hpux11.00
to prevent hp users from expecting things they do not get.

But even then if I configure for hppa2.0-hp-hpux11.00
I would not expect PA-RISC1.1 binaries and a compiler
that generates PA-RISC1.1 binaries per default.

So maybe hosttype hppa2.0-hp-hpux11.00 should be deleted
from the list of valid host types ...

The whole gcc host naming convention IMHO makes no sense
for the hppa part.


Btw.: 64 bit seems to be far from being an option on my system.
See http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2000-10/msg00107.html
for further problems I have trying to obtain 64-bit binutils on hpux-11.0
Has anyone tried this before?
