That was my thought as well.  Unfortunately, sh2a and sh2a-single
aren't compatible with other SH variants, so they will need separate
multilibs.  sh2a-single-only and sh2a-nofpu can use the same multilibs
as the corresponding sh4 and sh4a variants.

Yup.  I hope I got it all right :-)

BTW, I noticed that if we disable the -m2 multilib, we get -m2 mapped
to the -m1 ABI (t-sh sequence m1,m2,m3,... implies that, I think).
However, IIRC -m1 and -m2 actually use slightly different ABIs, so it
wouldn't be correct to share them.  Shouldn't we remove `m1,' from
that list?
