I'm on it.

On the other side, I should really stop fooling around and prepare a mail
asking about these toolchain issues to the Sourcery guys. I'm sorry for being
so lazy with this!

And while we are here... upstream binutils and GCC supports Nios-II,
unfortunately, glibc and uclibc doesn't (well, uclibc supports threadless,
non shared libraries and non-MMU).

The problem with this, is that Altera is forced to move from a custom
syscall ABI to the generic syscall ABI, before upstreaming the kernel and libc
ports. So, I wouldn't count on this being upstreamed anytime soon.
