This "405 and 440 work" is exactly that what you mention here, viz
"IBM PowerPC Performance Libraries"
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/ppcperflib).
Actually, that what I'll send is simple copy&paste from it. And I did
not know that CodeSourcery has been discussing with IBM the
possibility of contributing it. I thought, the IBM copyright header
is clear enough.
What should I do now? Wait for the CodeSourcery or just send patches
and let decide others what to do with them?
