I have no objections against providing an ll/sc emulation -- I have never had and certainly haven't expressed them. What I insist on is to keep ISA-I-compiled glibc not making use of ll/sc. Anyone feel free to finish the emulation we have. Anyway, an ISA-II-compiled glibc won't work on an ISA I system even if the ll/sc emulation works. An ISA II is more than just an addition of the ll and sc instructions. There were also branch likely, trap and doubleword coprocessor load instructions added in ISA II. Do you want to emulate these, too? -- + Maciej W.
