Allow targets to define the default for the short enums option.

gcc/

	* config/arm/arm.c: (ARM_DEFAULT_SHORT_ENUMS): Provide default
	definition.
	* config/arm/rtems.h (ARM_DEFAULT_SHORT_ENUMS) Define.

Does this work nowadays?
About 10 years ago I did this for some arm and had to force TREE_CODE at al to 16 bit manually, IIRC.

The short enums work fine on ARM. I want to get rid of them not due to 
compiler bugs.

I don't see why it won't work in cross-compilers and on Linux. the bug
report that you allude to seems to suggest that bootstrap was broken
with -fshort-enums i.e. -fshort-enums on a host. I don't see how
that's going to be possible without major work in the software but for
cross-compilers targeting embedded platforms I see no reason why
-fshort-enums won't work.

This belongs in arm.h rather than in arm.c

It's a change in ABI for the RTEMS platform but it certainly needs a
documentation update in the release notes . Also, is it necessary that
you need this in for GCC-7 or can you wait for stage-1 since we are in
regression fixes mode ?

For RTEMS, ABI changes are not really critical. I would like to get this 
into GCC 6.4. For GCC 7 its not urgent.

The usual policy is not to have ABI changes within sub-releases of a
GCC release cycle. However if the RTEMs community is happy with it, I
have no particular objections.  I would however strongly suggest that
if you are fixing it for GCC 6.4 to then fix it for GCC-7 *and*
document it in the release notes.

For RTEMS ABI changes are not a big deal. Its more important that we 
don't carry GCC patches around and can use a particular FSF release 
unmodified. I will add this change to the GCC 6.4 and 7.1 release notes, 
if this is all right for Jakub.
