Hi, I have noticed and read a few comments regarding the demise of ARCH=ppc. Having two PowerPC arcitectures and only supprting one of them makes little sense. Is it not time to migrate (where required) the remaining code from arch/ppc to arch/powerpc and asm-ppc to asm-powerpc. There are not many files left that are unique to ARCH=ppc so it should not take too long. For me, the requirement is to keep support for the cards indicated in arch/ppc/config/xxx_defconfig (as I have one that I might what to use with linux) in the same way as they are supported in ARCH=ppc. I have just made some tweeks to get ARCH=ppc building for me but I still need to sort out what is required to get around *** Error: Headers not exportable for this architecture (ppc).
