IMHO, it's wrong to create a parallel universe for v7M multiplatform... Multiplatform as I understand it is mainly about selecting multiple SoC _platforms_ but not necessarily multiple CPU platforms. It happens to work well for V6/V7, but does not for others, and preventing multiselection for incompatible CPU platforms is the way to prevent creating such images. > Please read the first bit of my replies again, where I say that we do > _not_ want to remove the !MMU dependency from multiplatform.

Ok, I don't have such a strong feel for multiplatform, it just feels a bit better to me. I need a top level ARCH which is able to live with !MMU. Will try the ARCH_SINGLE_ARMV7M approach then. -- Stefan -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
