Please note that as of today Marvell is also still producing them PXAs
which are not to go end-of-life before later next year I believe.

I believe it was only an issue with early gcc 8 but does work just fine
again with later 8.2 or 8.3 versions.

However, what is more concerning to me is that in today's convoluted
moloch known as U-Boot there may simply not be any space any more for
something truly embedded but somewhat limited like PXA based hardware.
