Doh, I hadn't seen this patch before ;-)
Nevertheless, I do not have access to H8/300 hardware.

Yep, when the SH4 patents will have expired.
I believe that's planned for 2016 (Islamic calendar? ;-)

BTW, the unresponsiveness of the SH maintainers is also annoying.
Patches are sent to the list (sometimes multiple people are solving
the same recurring issue), but ignored.

Anyway, I do regular boot tests on SH4.

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
