OK, thanks, it sounds reasonable to me.

But why many other architectures contents these guard macros? (arm, sh,
blackfin, cris, frv, ia64, m32r, m68k, mips, s390, microblaze, mn10300,
parisc, powerpc, sparc, x86). Do they need improvement too?

And for our case, what xtensa has done looks like a better way to me.


Thanks.
