Re: v850 ld failure for v850-rtems on master

Hi Pedro,

   Your recent patch to change the architecture names for the V850 has
   caused a problem for people using custom V850 linker scripts:

https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2016-03/msg00263.html

Sorry about that.


   Changing the OUTPUT_ARCH name in the script does work, but the change
   is not backwards compatible.  Would a patch like this, to add an extra
   entry with the old architecture name, cause problems for GDB ?

   Your original posting talked about spaces in the architecture name
   causing problems, but this patch does not reintroduce any spaces, so
   maybe it will work ?

Yes, as long as there are no spaces, it won't cause problems for gdb.

Thanks,
Pedro Alves
