Hello Nick,
Thank you for the reply.

I agree with your point.
Actually, the problem I do care is the mips opcode table, see
http://www.sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2008-12/msg00310.html. So far,
almost all of membership bits have been occupied. I have no idea about
how to add a new CPU defination. I'm trying to write a program to
generate the opcode table automatically using condition functions
instead of bit mask.
Could anyone give me some suggestions?
