I do agree. Ultimately, I'd like crostool-NG (and thus buildroot) to support
the same arch list as is currently available in uClibc (except maybe those
marked as 'broken') and the Linux kernel.

So I do not have any plan to _remove_ support for any arch, unless it proves
impractical to support (ie. it does not build, no one steps in with hardware,
and there's no qemu support).

Of course, support for said archs should be available for gcc and binutils
as well. I'm not too keen on bundling arch-support patches in crosstool-NG,
but avr32 is already in, so...

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
