And it wouldn't have so much impact on developers. Drastic changes in the directory and file structures will have a much greater impact than that. This submission is a good chance for the new arch name. New contributors cannot recognize the am33 glibc is for the mn10300 Linux. -- Suzuki Takashi Japan - 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/
