[rtems-crossrpms commit] Reflect arm-rtems being history.

[Joel Sherrill]

I would have thought by now you would hhave understood the right thing to do. Let me explain it once again:

+ CPU-rtems ALWAYS exists and is the recommended primary toolset
+ During transition periods. CPU-rtemsXXX may be needed as a safety net for the older target configuration

In this particular situation, we have 3 target names:

+ arm-rtems - was ELF should be switched to EABI
+ arm-rtemself - needed to have old target available as backup
+ arm-rtemseabi - needed to have new version

There should be binaries for arm-rtems and whatever is the secondary (whether coming or going) format. 

This was done multiple times for a.out to coff and coff to elf transitions.

Ralf did you not understand what to do or are you deliberately being childish difficult? Given your behavior in general, I know my opinion.

Packaging the tools is supposed to be a service to the community not a way to dictate to developers what to use as host OSes or object format. Listen to those who are daily using RTEMS to do their jobs and build systems. Users define the requirements for RTEMS itself. Do the same for the tools.
