Proposed changes for pdp11 --*magic options

[Nick Clifton]

Hi Paul,

> The GCC test machinery has notation that lets you mark a test case as not supported on 16 bit machines, so it is simply skilled there.  Does binutils have that same mechanism, or something like it?

No, but it could.

Take a look at the is_elf64 proc in binutils/testsuite/lib/binutils-common.exp
This is used to check for 64-bit ELF targets, but it would not be too difficult
to create a similar function to look for 16-bit aout or coff targets.

Cheers
