Hi all,

This patch lists the -mcpu and -march values that are deprecated for GCC 6.
Joel indicated that it would be useful to enumerate them all.

Ok to commit?

Thanks,
Kyrill

Yes, this is very useful.  Thank you!

Yep from my side.  (Perhaps a native speaker can help us whether
"value" is the best word here...  Joel?)

Thanks, I've committed it.
We can always adjust the wording separately if needed.

        Support for revisions of the ARM architecture prior to ARMv4t has
        been deprecated and will be removed in a future GCC release.
-       This affects ARM6, ARM7 (but not ARM7TDMI), ARM8, StrongARM, and
-       Faraday fa526 and fa626 devices, which do not have support for
-       the Thumb execution state.
+       The <code>-mcpu</code> and <code>-mtune</code> values that are
+       deprecated are:
+       <code>arm2, arm250, arm3, arm6, arm60, arm600, arm610, arm620, arm7,
+       arm7d, arm7di, arm70, arm700, arm700i, arm710, arm720, arm710c,
+       arm7100, arm7500, arm7500fe, arm7m, arm7dm, arm7dmi, arm8, arm810,
+       strongarm, strongarm110, strongarm1100, strongarm1110, fa526,
+       fa626</code>.  The value
+       <code>arm7tdmi</code> is still supported.
+       The values of <code>-march</code> that are deprecated are:
+       <code>armv2,armv2a,armv3,armv3m,armv4</code>.
      </li>

        The ARM port now supports target attributes and pragmas.  Please
