[llvm-commits] ARM .fpu attribute

The .fpu will never show in ELF, and is a hack that GAS has that has nothing to do with build attributes. But printing them allows GAS/LD to correctly choose the instructions.

I'd like GAS to understand VFP/NEON build attributes directly, but that's another story... ;)

cheers,

HI Renato,

Patch looks good. Please commit.

I am unsure about the lowercase/uppercase difference between .s and .o
for textual attributes.

AFAIK, it is required for .cpu attribute to be lowercase in .s and
uppercase in .o.
Is it also required (or at least harmless) for .fpu attr as well?
Thanks!
