Re: [PATCH/RFA] Add support for OpenBSD/mips64

Is the use of *trad*mips for 64bit targets intentional? It means that
o32 ELF objects from the mips64*-*-openbsd* target are incompatible to
ones from mips*-*-openbsd*.
[Putting my OpenBSD hat on]
Quite so. OpenBSD/sgi is a new fully 64-bit platform as far as
OpenBSD is concerned, which currently is the only member of the
OpenBSD/mips64 family. Currently is runs on the SGI O2, although
support for the SGI Origin200 is being worked on.
In the past we had OpenBSD/arc and OpenBSD/pmax running on hardware
using MIPS CPU's. I believe both were little-endian. Support for
these platforms has been dropped several years ago, and as far as
we're concerned, they're completely disjoint from OpenBSD/sgi.
That said, the remaining mips*-*-openbsd* entries in config.bfd can
probably be dropped, although they might still be useful for people
playing around with the old OpenBSD/pmax.
