Re: [patch] MIPS testsuite -- disable some tests for octeon


Are you planning to fix the gas testsuite for octeon as part of your ongoing work?

to install?

Well, I think this is going to be a little bit more complicated than this. Octeon does support these instructions it just depends on whether it is run in compatibility mode or not. For example our linux toolchain uses MIPS unaligned instructions whereas our elf toolchain uses Octeon unaligned instructions.

I am planning to sort out how to best support this on mainline in the patch
that will add Octeon unaligned instruction support.  If there is interest I
can work on that after the current patch which adds the less problematic
Octeon instructions.
