binutils-2.16 news

[Jan Beulich]

As far as I remember either you or Nick or Ian provided me with a list of targets one would ideally test against when making changes of global effect. Quite a number of these are listed here. I thus wonder whether there isn't (and if not, couldn't be) a place where a list of "primary" targets is maintained (which should clearly be free of targets already deprecated), so one could derive automated building/testing of those targets (or a subset, say all ELF ones) from it.
