Yes, picoJava can be licensed from Sun.
My reasoning for using a specific triplet was that a `real'
pj-unknown-elf tool chain would build `least surprise' generic
binaries that would run on the Sun picoJava eval board.
Since the tools are not compatible with the de facto generic picoJava
tool chain, and are targeted to a different execution environment, it
seemed that using a generic triplet was incorrect.
But this is pretty nebulous, I'd be happy to take this out and put it
back (or not) when/if Metaware compatibility is finished.
