Hello Maintainers:
After google search and check the Linux kernel, H8/300 is dead, and for
gcc-4.9.0 and binutils-2.23.2 still has h8300, do we still need it for
another OS ?
Welcome any suggestions or completions, thanks.

Drop support for Renesas H8/300 (h8300) architecture
H8/300 has been dead for several years, and the kernel for it
has not compiled for ages. Drop support for it.

The related information in gcc/binutils:
We can build h8300 cross-compiler for Linux kernel, successfully,
but it has many bugs when building Linux kernel with -Os.
if we still need h8300 for another OS, is it still valuable to send
these bugs to Bugzilla (although it is found under Linux)?
It is still useful to send code generation bugs for the H8/300 series to
the GCC folks.
OK, thanks, I will wait for 1-2 days which may get another members'
opinions for discussing.
If no additional opinions, I will report them to Bugzilla, and I should
try to continue 'work' with related members (although I am a newbie for
compiler and binutils programming).

Thanks.
