Subject: Deprecate the ARM simulator.
X-Git-Tag: gdb-16-branchpoint~524
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=aec7815b4b78d4dcd2261f1dab1092dbf4a9e0be;p=thirdparty%2Fbinutils-gdb.git

Deprecate the ARM simulator.

    The ARM simulator is no longer able to simulator modern ARM cores, so it
    is being deprecated.  Once this change has been active for a while - and
    assuming that no problems have been found - the ARm simulator codebase
    will be removed.
