I think you wanted to place a link or something above for [2].

Also, the first two patches look like fixes for the arch itself, they
should really go outside of the nolibc development tree, at least
because they might have to be backported to some stable branches,
or later fixed/reverted in case they wouldn't be optimal.

Aside this, it's been a long time since we last added an architecture
and it's pleasant to see how easy it has become over time, even when
requiring specific settings ;-)

Cheers,
Willy
