[patch][rfc] New Target: Toshiba Media Processor

[Dave Brolley]

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for looking at this code.

As Red Hat does own the code in question, I have changed the copyright 
and licensing to the Red Hat BSD-style license from COPYING.LIBGLOSS.

There were two files which had GPL licensing. Both indicated that they 
had been copied from gcc/libgcc2.c, however it it was only the copyright 
and licensing that were copied. The remainder of the code in those files 
bears no relation to any code in gcc/libgcc2.c. These have also been 
changed to use the BSD-style copyright/license.

You will find the updated files in the attached tar ball.

Thanks,
Dave
