Re: [PATCH v2 0/1] s390: Deprecate s390 32-bit target "s390-*"
Andreas Krebbel approves a patch to deprecate the 32-bit s390 target (s390-*, elf32-s390) in binutils. This deprecation aligns with ongoing removal efforts in the Linux kernel, glibc, and GCC. The patch is considered acceptable, and the revision timeline for its removal (Binutils 2.48) is deemed appropriate, as users of deprecated features might be expected to use older binutils versions. Krebbel does not see a need to backport the configure-time checks from GCC to binutils, given the imminent removal.
