Re: Remove deprecated targets


I have now committed this patch.  I encourage the relevant subsystem 
maintainers (Ada, libstdc++, Solaris, alpha, cris, fixincludes) to clean 
up the possibly obsolete pieces left behind when convenient.

> * gcc/ada/mlib-tgt-specific-vxworks.adb contains code looking for

>   that is no longer needed, as "xscale" is now obsoleted in target
>   triplets in favour of "arm".
