Technical tradeoffs
- • Simplifies toolchain configuration for H8/300H users by making it the default.
- • Might require users targeting the older H8/300 to explicitly specify it, potentially breaking older build scripts if not updated.

[PATCH v3 1/2] H8: Set H8/300H as the default architecture for the H8 family
This patch changes the default architecture for the H8 family of processors within the binutils toolchain to H8/300H. The change affects binutils’ BFD, gas, and ld components, updating their respective configuration and documentation files to reflect the new default. The aim is to streamline the build process for users targeting H8/300H by making it the out-of-the-box setting.
