binutils — Proposed
Gas changes for nanoMIPS support.
Adds nanoMIPS target support to the GNU Assembler (Gas).
These patches introduce support for the nanoMIPS architecture in the Gas assembler. Changes include modifying configuration files like configure.ac and config.sub to recognize the nanoMIPS target, regenerating configure scripts, and adding new files for nanoMIPS-specific assembler configurations (tc-nanomips.c, tc-nanomips.h).
In Details
Integrates the nanoMIPS architecture into the Gas assembler. This involves updating build system configuration files (configure.ac, config.sub, configure.tgt) to recognize new target triplets like 'nanomips*-*-elf*' and 'nanomips*-*-linux*'. It also introduces new assembler-specific configuration files for nanoMIPS.
