Thanks - I have put that into the latest patch (attached) along with a
fix for the other problem you spotted
(arch_sh2a_nofpu_or_sh4_nommu_nofpu being the same as
arch_sh2a_nofpu_or_sh3_nommu). Otherwise this patch is the same as the
previous one with a suitably amended arch_expected.txt for the GAS tests.

Personally yes - but only if:
a) Someone is willing to put the effort into developing it. I do not
think that it will be a trivial programming exercise and I am not
volunteering, at least not right now.
b) There are more SH variants to come. A bit of crystal ball gazing
is required for this one, but presumably it is quite likely that the SH
line will continue to be developed.
Cheers
Nick
