Hi,
I have noticed and read a few comments regarding the demise of ARCH=ppc.
Having two PowerPC arcitectures and only supprting one of them makes
little sense. Is it not time to migrate (where required) the remaining
code from arch/ppc to arch/powerpc and asm-ppc to asm-powerpc. There are
not many files left that are unique to ARCH=ppc so it should not take too
long.
For me, the requirement is to keep support for the cards indicated in
arch/ppc/config/xxx_defconfig (as I have one that I might what to use with
linux) in the same way as they are supported in ARCH=ppc.
I have just made some tweeks to get ARCH=ppc building for me but I still
need to sort out what is required to get around *** Error: Headers not
exportable for this architecture (ppc).
