The RISC iX case is much like the Solaris/PowerPC one I commented on in
<http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2011-03/msg01744.html>: it appears
there is still assembler support. What I'm doing here is simply cleaning
things up by removing mentions of *GCC* directories for targets without
GCC support (often ones where GCC support was removed long ago).
It's quite possible that some obsolete targets should have their binutils
(and newlib) support removed, leading to further toplevel simplification
(gdb has been more active in pruning unmaintained targets - but it's also
the case that a proliferation of targets is more likely to cause problems
there than in binutils and newlib). But I think it's really for the
binutils maintainers to work out what they think is worth removing.
