The Microblaze port is pretty far along. Most of my library regression tests
succeed.
For executables, I compile and run (NetBSD versions) of cat, chmod, cp echo,
ed, expr, kill, ln ls, mkdir, mv, pwd, rmdir, rm, sleep, and test,
Of these the (rudimentary) tests fail for Microblaze for ed, expr. ls, and
test.

Microblaze will probably come before ppc, just because I'm still struggling
with clang/LLVM support of ppc.

Right now it is just SVN. I could set up tarballs, though, if there is enough
interest.

I have only used clang/LLVM for testing. I was testing against gcc 4.6
previously.
