[OpenRISC] OpenRISC GCC port upstream for 9.0.0

[OpenRISC] OpenRISC GCC port upstream for 9.0.0

[Stafford Horne]

Hi All,

I have just published this onto openrisc.io:
https://openrisc.io/2018/11/09/gccupstream

We are proud to announce that the OpenRISC port for gcc has been
committed to upstream.

Mainline OpenRISC support will be available in the upcoming 9.0.0
release of GCC.

Note, this has been a clean room rewrite of the OpenRISC gcc port. The
old port can still be found in the OpenRISC github repo. Pre-release
toolchain binaries for the new toolchain can be found on Stafford’s
github releases page.

There are a few things still not supported in this new port which were
available the previous port. The current upstream OpenRISC GCC does
not have support for:

  - or1knd (No-branch delay) targets
  - hardware FPU (floating point unit)

If you have any requests of would like to help out please contact us
on the mailing list.

P.S.

TODO list for OpenRISC toolchain
  - Add support for new l.adrp instruction to spec, gcc and mor1kx
  - Add GCC FPU support
  - Add GDB under Linux support

Stafford,

this is a fantastic achievement! Thanks for all the work you put into
writing code, shuffling patches around, and coordinating submissions and
small changes. Thanks to everybody else involved in writing and
reviewing this port. It's great to see many people beyond the core
OpenRISC community involved, leading to many improvements all around,
and in the end producing a better compiler and toolchain for OpenRISC.

Philipp
