This patch starts the series of patches removing svr4.h from the
headers used by particular targets in GCC.  All of these patches are
relative to a tree with the first three patches for particular macros
<http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2010-12/msg00362.html>
<http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2010-12/msg00460.html>
<http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2010-12/msg00518.html> applied.

This patch stops arc-*-elf* from using svr4.h.  The only macro used
from that header was LIB_SPEC.  The svr4.h definition

#undef	LIB_SPEC
#define LIB_SPEC "%{!shared:%{!symbolic:-lc}}"

seems inappropriate for generic ELF targets (in general you do want to
link with -lc even when building a shared library) so I used the
simpler "-lc" for LIB_SPEC and will do so as applicable for other
targets currently inheriting this macro setting from svr4.h.

Tested building cc1 and xgcc for a cross to arc-elf.  OK to commit?
(NB there is no listed maintainer for this target at present.)

2010-12-07  Joseph Myers  <joseph@codesourcery.com>

	* config/arc/arc.h (LIB_SPEC): Define.
	* config.gcc (arc-*-elf*): Don't use svr4.h.

Ping.  This patch 
<http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2010-12/msg00566.html> is pending 
review.  Note that this target has no maintainer so it's not going to be 
reviewed by a target maintainer.

Then, really, I think it should be okay for you to go ahead and
we should consider deprecating the port with GCC 4.6.  I also did
not find any testresults for the months of October and November.

Consider all of your cleanup patches to targets without a maintainer
pre-approved.

I btw agree with Gerald, those ports should be deprecated.

Thanks,
Richard.

That's arc, lm32 and score (I'm not sure why the last two were accepted 
without maintainers, lm32 in particular is recent).

Possible deprecations to consider for 4.6 if someone wants to work out 
details of target triplets and implement the deprecations:

* arc.

* Interix target OS (doesn't build at present).

* Generic COFF/PE targets (arm-*-pe* other than arm*-wince-pe*, 
mcore-*-pe*) (i[34567]86-*-pe isn't actually such a target, it's an alias 
for the Cygwin configuration, but as previously discussed "canonical" 
aliases - ones left unchanged by config.sub - have their own problems, so 
maybe it should be deprecated as well).

* a.out BSD configurations where there are corresponding ELF 
configurations as well.

* m68k-*-uclinuxoldabi*.

* If GNU as is made to work for alpha*-dec-osf5.1*, then I'd like to 
eliminate mips-tdump, mips-tfile and the extra_passes and extra_programs 
mechanisms in config.gcc.  (Actually, only extra_passes is used at all at 
present, not extra_programs.)

I'd love to do that, but although gas is supposed to have been working
on Tru64 UNIX at some point, it fails for the simplest programs right
now, cf. binutils PRs

gas/11518	Support explicit relocations for Alpha ECOFF
gas/11517	Fatal error assembling ldgp for Alpha ECOFF
gas/11516	Fatal error assembling jsr for Alpha ECOFF

I still haven't gotten around to investigate what's wrong there.

I agree that mips-tfile is a mess, and only works natively.
