Re: PowerPC 440 mbar and tlbwe instructions

[Andreas Kugel]

Dear Alan,

thanks for your response. Indeed, adding the flag -mregnames alowed to 
assemble the problematic section of code. (Although I don't understand 
why I don't need this flag when generating code for the 403). However I 
have experienced more problems, e.g. with the iccci and dccci 
instructions, which are as well defined for the 403 only, but not for 
the 440.

I know some projects (e.g. BlueGene, QCDOC) are using the 440 and the 
GNU tool chain. Therefore I assume there should be an updated version of 
the binutils existing somewhere ?

Thanks for your help.

Andreas
