Re: Cleanups for the m68k backend

Who is using m68020-*-elf*?

Probably no one. Keep in mind that gcc isn't the only program that uses these configure names. There is also binutils, gdb, newlib, etc. However, I don't see support for m68020-elf in all of them, and a quick uberbaum tree confirms this. So m68020-elf isn't useful anymore and can be eliminated.


I think the point of having m68020-elf was so that we could have a target that defaults to m68020 code instead of one that defaults to m68000 code. In current sources, a better way to do this is via --with-cpu configure options.

Could we drop it and rename "m68020-elf.h"
to "m68k-elf.h"

It would be very reasonable to do this.
