1.7 - Add support for the Signal Processing Engine.
1.8 + Add support for the Signal Processing Engine. This will set up
1.9 + the toolchain so that it supports the SPE ABI extensions. This
1.10 + mainly targets Freescale e500 processors.
1.11 +
1.12 + Setting this option will append "spe" to the end of your target
1.13 + tuple name (e.g., powerpc-e500v2-linux-gnuspe) so that the gcc
1.14 + configure/build system will know to include SPE ABI support.
1.15 + It will also automatically add "-mabi=spe -mspe" to your
1.16 + TARGET_CFLAGS, and "--enable-e500_double" to your CC_EXTRA_CONFIG,
1.17 + so you do not need to explicitly add them.
