Stage 3 is open to new ports that do not add extra functionality. As
such, I will be adding support for a new variant of the e500.
Freescale has a new chip, the 8548, which is essentially the same
as the e500/spe/8540, but with double precision floating point operations
in the registers (full 64-bits). I'm sure there are plenty of other
goodies, but these are all that affect GCC, and consecuently...me :-).
I will also be working on a 3.4 branch adding support for this chip,
since 3.4 proper is currently closed for such obstrusive changes. Perhaps
something akin to gcc-3_4-e500-branch.
I'll also be working on the usual glibc+spe changes for those interested.
Binutils support was already added a few weeks ago.
Cheerios.
