Right, sparc-elf and sparc-rtems were hijacking sol2-ci.asm and sol2-cn.asm, which are supposed to be Solaris-specific. Now the RTEMS folks complained about the removal and I accepted to backpedal for sparc-rtems: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2011-01/msg00530.html They never applied the patch, though. The funny thing is that neither sparc64-elf nor sparc64-rtems build them. But they are very likely little used targets. I guess the best solution to clean up the mess at this point is to backpedal entirely and build them (again) for sparc*-elf and sparc*-rtems. I'll do the change for the upcoming 4.6.1 release. > I've CC'ed Eric in case he has anything to add. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. -- Eric Botcazou
