hmm, i've had this guide (and helper scripts) for many years:
http://dev.gentoo.org/~vapier/PORTING-HOWTO
but it could do with a bit of a refresh. i guess would also be good to move
it to the wiki for better visibility.

make sure your profiles/arch/microblaze/make.defaults has:
ARCH=microblaze
and that your profiles/default/linux/microblaze/parent file loads that
directory. if you want an example, look at how arm64 is doing things as that
is the newest Gentoo port currently.
i'd be happy to merge microblaze into the main tree if you send patches :).
