<br></div><div style>I remember one of the critics of using tablegen for triple defaults and etc was that it wasn't easily configurable and was just made that way to keep compatibility with the ancient GCC triples, that were not triples to begin with. It was then that the idea of having configuration files was born (not from me), and I think that we should do something in that direction.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>But I have spoken to many people, on and off the list, and while all of them acknowledge that this is an important feature and one that affects us all, nobody so far (among people and companies) is willing to spend time on it. What I'm trying to do is to create self-contained projects with clear goals, so that this can at least progress.</div>
