Mike Frysinger ba307cddcf sim: overhaul alignment settings management
Currently, the sim-config module will abort if alignment settings
haven't been specified by the port's configure.ac.  This is a bit
weird when we've allowed SIM_AC_OPTION_ALIGNMENT to seem like it's
optional to use.  Thus everyone invokes it.

There are 4 alignment settings, but really only 2 matters: strict
and nonstrict.  The "mixed" setting is just the default ("unset"),
and "forced" isn't used directly by anyone (it's available as a
runtime option for some ports).

The m4 macro has 2 args: the "wire" settings (which represents the
hardwired port behavior), and the default settings (which are used
if nothing else is specified).  If none are specified, then the
build won't work (see above as if SIM_AC_OPTION_ALIGNMENT wasn't
called).  If default settings are provided, then that is used, but
we allow the user to override at runtime.  Otherwise, the "wire"
settings are used and user runtime options to change are ignored.

Most ports specify a default, or set the "wire" to nonstrict.  A
few set "wire" to strict, but it's not clear that's necessary as
it doesn't make the code behavior, by default, any different.  It
might make things a little faster, but we should provide the user
the choice of the compromises to make: force a specific mode at
compile time for faster runtime, or allow the choice at runtime.
More likely it seems like an oversight when these ports were
initially created, and/or copied & pasted from existing ports.

With all that backstory, let's get to what this commit does.

First kill off the idea of a compile-time default alignment and
set it to nonstrict in the common code.  For any ports that want
strict alignment by default, that code is moved to sim_open while
initializing the sim.  That means WITH_DEFAULT_ALIGNMENT can be
completely removed.

Moving the default alignment to the runtime also allows removal
of setting the "wire" settings at configure time.  Which allows
removing of all arguments to SIM_AC_OPTION_ALIGNMENT and moving
that call to common code.

The macro logic can be reworked to not pass WITH_ALIGNMENT as -D
CPPFLAG and instead move it to config.h.

All of these taken together mean we can hoist the macro up to the
top level and share it among all sims so behavior is consistent
among all the ports.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
