Hi,

The Steering Committee has decided to add aarch64-none-linux-gnu as a primary platform for GCC-7. This reflects the increasing popularity of the port and the increased general availability of hardware. I also took the opportunity of creating a GCC-7 criteria page at the same time.

Applied.

Sorry to hijack the thread but I continue to notice that we have
i386-unknown-freebsd as a primary target.  I notice here
the 'i386' (the only primary target still explicitely listing that
sub-target) and the fact that freebsd switched to LLVM as
far as I know.

So I propose to demote -freebsd to secondary and use
i686-unknown-freebsd (or x86_64-unknown-freebsd?).

Gerald, Andreas, can you comment on both issues?  Esp. i386 is putting
quite some burden on libstdc++ and atomics support
for example.
The target may claim i386, but it's actually i486+ so we don't have any real issues around atomics. This came up in 2014.

We can look at demoting FreeBSD again; when we looked at it in 2014 it wasn't seen as a particularly useful thing to do. But I'm open to revisiting.
