Good to hear.

> The nanoMIPS toolchain we inherited is based on gcc 6.3.  We’ve been working on upgrading to gcc trunk since late February, but it's not a trivial task.  As soon as we're done (hopefully before the summer), we'll propose the changes to the gcc mailing list.

Ouch.  I understand that's a big job rebasing to mainline.

Well, hopefully that means you'll have made some progress by late summer, when 
qemu 6.1 is due.
