This I can answer. The tool chain rotted and had no maintainer. I also recall 
not having a simulator to test on.

The final issue was some discrepancy between multiple openrisc CPU projects 
where I thought the focus on the architecture we had a port to was losing 
interest from them.

And who would use it?

Long term a port needs to be to a viable architecture from a "is it alive" view 
 this includes the cpu, tools, a way for us to test, etc
