I think we're still digesting it. I need to sync up with Michal and the
Xilinx people. The libc and kernel API changes have to happen in
tandem, otherwise Michal can't properly test the kernel he's pushing.

I am the defacto MicroBlaze uClibc and toolchain "builder" but somewhat
reluctantly - am trying to convince Xilnx to hand that over to someone
who is expert at it.

Michal, John L, any thoughts?

John
