1 maintaining arch things across multiple operating systems is boring me so i'd
2 like to start moving to profiles that outline arch-specific details
3
4 for example:
5 default-linux/parent:
6 ../base
7 default-linux/sh/parent:
8 ..
9 ../../arch/sh
10 arch/sh/parent:
11 ..
12 arch/parent -> none
13
14 all of the arch-specific details would be moved out of base/ and into arch/
15 (like altivec, sse, sse2, mmx, etc...) and then they can be unmasked in the
16 respective arch/$arch/ subdir
17
18 this would be for 2007.1+ profiles and we can leave the old things in place
19 until we phase out 2007.0 and older completely
20 -mike
