I just want to say that my remarks from before [0] stand. I don't think
we should support a target which is not in upstream glibc or the Linux
kernel (where it is for those) unless there is movement to it landing
back in. So +1.

There were some fixes sent though but it doesn't change that it needs
someone properly involved in GCC regularly sending test results and
fixing bugs, not just a drive-by.

I can't speak on this part, so I won't, other than saying it seems to be
a rife target for the fuzzers.
