Bootstrap works with everything I tried, but building Linux fails with a
few things like
/home/segher/src/kernel/drivers/tty/serial/serial_core.c:1029:1: internal
compiler error: maximum number of generated reload insns per insn achieved (90)
(it uses -mcpu=ev5 there; to reproduce just (try to) build a defconfig).
