[PATCH] m68k: tag floating-point ABI used

[John Paul Adrian Glaubitz]

Hello!

> Tag the floating-point calling convention used on m68k-elf (either hard-float
> or soft-float) through the GNU assembler attribute. The use of the tag enables
> the linker to ensure linked objects use a consistent floating-point ABI and
> allows tools like GDB to infer the ABI used from the ELF file. It is based on
> similar work done for PowerPC.

> The patch has been tested for m68k-elf and x86-64/Linux. Since tagging is only
> enabled when the m68k assembler supports GNU attributes, this patch can be
> applied independently from the corresponding binutils patch.

This seems like a useful enhancement to the m68k backend.

Any chance it can be picked up?

Thanks,
Adrian
